(3) Accept functional medical evidence beyond ninety days of the date of application or forty-five days before the month of disability review, or otherwise waive the requirement of WAC 388-449-0015 (3)(e) in its entirety.

(4) Suspend or waive eligibility review requirements detailed in WAC 388-434-0005 for the ABD program.
