If the denial is based on new evidence discovered after 90 days, which statement is true?

• A. The denial cannot be issued
• B. The denial is always accepted
• C. The denial is permitted because new evidence discovered after 90 days can rebut the presumption
• D. The denial requires a new 90-day window

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that after a 90-day period there is a presumption related to the denial decision, but that presumption can be rebutted if new evidence is discovered after that window. Because the new evidence can undermine the basis for the presumption, issuing a denial remains permissible. This captures how late-breaking information is handled: it doesn’t force acceptance or require starting over with a fresh 90-day period, but it does allow the denial to stand when the new evidence justifies it. The other statements don’t fit because they either claim a denial can’t be issued, or that it must be automatically accepted, or that you must restart with a new 90-day window; none align with the idea that late-discovered evidence can rebut the presumption and support denial.
