MFIP
At application, all MFIP units must report all changes that occurred between the time of the interview and the time of the notice of eligibility. They must report these changes when they occur to be considered reporting these changes timely.

All MFIP units are required to complete a Combined Six-Month Report (CSR) (DHS-5576) (PDF). This is due by the 8th of the month of the last month in the current six-month report period. On this report units are required to report all changes since their last application or recertification. For information on what is considered a complete Combined Six-Month Report (CSR) (DHS-5576) (PDF), see 0007.12.03 (What Is a Complete HRF/CSR).

During the six-month budget period, participants may report other changes they are not required to report. County agencies and Tribal Nations must determine how to act on any reported changes within 10 days of the changes being reported. See 0008.06.01 (Implementing Changes – Program Provisions), 0007.15.03 (Unscheduled Reporting of Changes – Cash).

MFIP units are also required to complete the recertification process. At recertification, units are required to report all changes. For more information on the recertification process, see Chapter 0009 (Recertification).


SNAP:
SNAP and Uncle Harry Food Support units who do NOT meet any of the criteria to be change reporters, are Six-Month Reporters. See 0007.03.05 (Change Reporting).

At application, six-month reporting units must report all changes that occurred between the time of the interview and the time of the notice of eligibility. They must report these changes within 10 days of the date on the notice of eligibility to be considered reporting these changes timely.

Six-Month Reporters are required to complete a Combined Six-Month Report (CSR) (DHS-5576) (PDF). This is due by the 8th of the month of the last month in the current six-month report period. On this report units are required to report all changes since their last application or recertification. For information on what is considered a complete Combined Six-Month Report (CSR) (DHS-5576) (PDF), see 0007.12.03 (What Is a Complete HRF/CSR).

Six-Month Reporters are also required to complete the recertification process. At recertification, units are required to report all changes. For more information on the recertification process, see Chapter 0009 (Recertification).

During the certification period, Six-Month Reporters are required to report the following changes:

●	When the unit’s gross income exceeds 130% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) for the unit’s size. Use the FPG for unit’s size at the time of the most recent application or recertification. See 0019.06 (Gross Income Limits). If the unit is already certified with income above 130% FPG, the unit does not need to report changes until the next renewal. Add a worker comment to the approval notice letting the unit know of these modified reporting requirements. See POLI/TEMP Manual TE02.05.19 (SNAP Notices – Add Worker Comments) for the sample text to add to the approval notice.
●	When a Time-limited Recipient’s work hours fall below 20 hours per week, averaged 80 hours monthly. Work includes paid employment, self-employment, in-kind, and unpaid work. See 0011.24 (Time-limited SNAP Recipients).
●	When a SNAP unit member receives a Substantial Lottery or Gambling Winning. See 0011.13 (Substantial Lottery or Gambling Winnings) and 0002.65 (Glossary: Substantial…).

These changes need to be reported by the 10th of the month following the month of the change to be considered reported timely. Units may report changes in person, by telephone or by mail. If the change is reported on weekends, holidays, or after hours, the date of the reported change will be the next business day. However, if the 10th lands on a weekend or holiday, consider the change reported timely. They may also use Change Report Form for SNAP (DHS-2402B) (PDF) to report changes, but are not required to use this form. If the unit reports a change to any member of the county agency or Tribal Nation, it is considered reported to the entire agency. Workers within the county agency or Tribal Nation must share information the unit has reported amongst each other to act on changes timely. For a definition of Known to the Agency, see 0002.35 (Glossary: Inventory…). If a unit does not report 1 of the changes above timely, overpayments need to be assessed. See 0025.03 (Determining Incorrect Payment Amounts).
During the certification period, clients may report other changes they are not required to report. County agencies and Tribal Nations must determine how to act on any reported changes within 10 days of the changes being reported. See 0008.06.01 (Implementing Changes – Program Provisions).
