SNAP CERTIFICATION MANUAL – SECTION 1000 1900 Classifying Households 1910 Aged/Disabled Households 1900 Classifying Households SNAP Manual 06/15/98 Households will be classified in accordance with the provisions of this section. 1910 Aged/Disabled Household SNAP Manual 07/01/2025 An aged/disabled household contains at least one (1) member who is age sixty (60) or over or is disabled as defined in the Glossary under “Age/Disabled”. The household member who is aged or disabled is entitled to a medical deduction as provided in SNAP 6500. Households with an aged/disabled member are entitled to unlimited excess shelter costs. They are not subject to the gross income pretest but must meet the net income standards. See SNAP 7600 for an explanation of net income eligibility. 1919 Broad Based Categorically Eligible Household SNAP Manual 07/01/2025 Broad Based Categorically Eligibility applies to all SNAP households that receive a non-cash TANF or Maintenance of Effort benefit (See Appendix AA for BBCE information). This allows the resource limit for all households to be increased (See Appendix D). This increase is permitted for a twelve (12) month period and can only be granted once every five (5) years. After the twelve (12) month period has been exhausted the standard resource amounts will apply. 1920 Categorically Eligible Household SNAP Manual 07/01/2025 A categorically eligible household is any household in which all members receive (or are authorized to receive) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or at least one (1) member receives (or is authorized to receive) a Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA) benefit as defined in SNAP 1920.2. “Authorized to receive” means that an individual has been determined eligible for benefits and has been notified of this determination even though the benefits have not yet been received. The fact that TEA or SSI benefits have been suspended, recouped, or are less than the minimum amount paid will have no impact on a determination of categorical eligibility. No household may be classified as a categorically eligible household if: 1. The entire household is institutionalized, and the institution is not listed at SNAP 1800 as an institution where residents may participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. OR 2. Any member of the household is disqualified for an intentional program violation as defined in SNAP 16600 and SNAP 16800.
