5. Medical costs 6. Alien status 7. Social Security number 8. Work Registration There is no limit to the number of times a household may be certified under the expedited service provisions. However, prior to each subsequent expedited certification, the household must either complete the verification requirements that were postponed or be certified under normal processing standards. Prior to certification, the eligibility worker must determine if the household’s last application was certified under the expedited provisions with verification postponed. If the verification postponed at the last expedited certification occurred within one (1) year, the household must complete the verification requirements that were postponed. If the postponed verification from the previous certification is beyond twelve (12)-months from the current application date, the household must be certified under normal processing standards (see SNAP 9442 and SNAP 9443). Households certified under the expedited service provisions with verification postponed will be issued a notice specifying what the household must verify before its next certification.

9442 The SSN Requirement SNAP Manual 07/01/03 Households certified under the expedited service provisions do not have to declare or apply for a social security number for all members who wish to be included as a household member prior to certification. However, the household must declare or apply for a social security number for all members who wish to be included as a household member prior to being certified for additional months. See SNAP 2200 for a full explanation of the SSN requirement.
