UNSCHEDULED REPORTING OF CHANGES - SNAP
ISSUE DATE: 02/2023
MFIP, DWP, MSA, GA, GRH:
See 0007.15 (Unscheduled Reporting of Changes - Cash).
SNAP:
Six-Month Reporters, change reporters and Uncle Harry units have different reporting requirements during their certification period. See 0007.03.02 (Six-Month Reporting), 0007.03.05 (Change Reporting), 0007.03.01 (Monthly Reporting – Uncle Harry FS).
Clients may report other changes that they are not required to report. For example, a Time-limited Recipient (TLR) may receive additional months' benefits if they meet certain requirements. See 0011.24 (Time-limited SNAP Recipients) for more information.
Counties and Tribal Nations must act promptly on all changes reported, regardless of whether the unit was required to report the change during their certification period, to determine if the change affects the unit’s eligibility or allotment. Promptly means within 10 days of the date the change was reported. If the change is reported on weekends, holidays, or after hours, the date of the reported change will be the next business day. The action taken depends on the change, which could include but is not limited to requesting verification and adjusting benefits as needed. The timelines for when benefits are adjusted depends on the change and when verification is returned. See 0008.06.01 (Implementing Changes - Program Provisions), 0026.12 (Timing of Notices), 0026.12.03 (10 Day Notice).![]()
