(1) The Federal Bureau of Supplemental Security Income has denied applicant's request for advance payment or finding of presumptive eligibility for supplemental security income;

(3) The loan or loans shall bear no interest;
(4) The loan or loans shall not exceed the amount of assistance otherwise available to the applicant under this chapter;
(5) The loan or loans shall be repaid by the applicant out of the retroactive supplemental security income payments, provided that nothing herein shall restrict the federal government from making direct payments to the State for such loan or loans, and provided further that the loan or loans shall be discharged and no repayment shall be required from an applicant whose application for federal supplemental security income assistance has been disapproved;
