Do better

You all created this app to make it easier for you all to dismissed and ignore people case. The app never works and always has a maintenance problem. What is the point of having people use the app as an option if you all will not check people papers or information on time... then want to penalize the recipient apply or recertify. This app supposed to help more that be a hassle and I'm disabled so I know people like me the depends on this app because they can't sit nor stand for a long period of time or difficult to move most days smh I know is frustrating.
