See SNAP 9300-9400. Households participating in ESAP are composed of members aged sixty (60) or older, or adults living with a disability.

Any household that meets these criteria will be certified for thirty-six months. During the screening process, any application that does not contain at least a name, address, and a signature deemed acceptable by the agency will be returned to the applicant with a notice. The agency will retain a copy of the incomplete application and the notice, making sure to document the actions taken in the eligibility system.
