A facility's request for an extension must be in writing and must be received by the department at least 15 working days before the report's due date. The request must contain a clear explanation of the need for the extension and the date when the report can be submitted.</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Approval of an extension request is based on the merits of the request and for good cause.&nbsp; For purposes of this rule, good cause is one that supplies a substantial reason for the delay, a legal excuse for the delay, or an intervening action beyond the facility's control. Ignorance of the rule, inconvenience, a cost report preparer engaged in other work, or an accountant involved with income tax preparation is not good cause.</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 16 SDR 26, effective August 13, 1989; transferred from §&nbsp;67:16:04:07.03, 21 SDR 8, effective July 25, 1994; 23 SDR 42, effective September 30, 1996; 24 SDR 185, effective July 6, 1998.</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=28-6-1">28-6-1(4).</A></font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=28-6-1">28-6-1(4).</A></font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Cross-Reference:</b> Required financial reports, §&nbsp;67:16:04:34.</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p> </div> </body> </html>
