SNAP CERTIFICATION MANUAL – SECTION 9000 9400 Processing Standards 9445 Resources Verification of a work registration exemption shall not delay expedited service. If the member who claims the disability is subject to the Requirement To Work (RTW), he or she will not be referred to the E&T Employment and Training (E&T) Program. However, he or she will be referred at the next certification if verification of disability is not provided. For households with a member who must meet the RTW, the imposing of a RTW penalty or the granting of a discretionary exemption will not be delayed. However, the process of verifying RTW compliance may be delayed. See SNAP 3600 for additional information. 9444 Alien Status SNAP Manual 04/01/2022 Expedited service only provides for postponing verification. If an individual will not declare basic information about citizenship or alien status, there is no basis on which to allow the individual to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. He or she will be classified as an ineligible alien when the application is processed. See SNAP 1621.6. If an alien states he or she meets one of the conditions under which non-citizens may participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (see SNAP 1621.8) and wishes to be included in the SNAP household, the worker will ask the household to supply documentation of his or her alien status. If the household cannot supply this documentation within the expedited processing timeframes, verification will be postponed. The alien will be allowed to participate. However, the required documentation must be provided at the time of the next application if the alien is to continue participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. 9445 Resources SNAP Manual 04/01/2022 Countable liquid resources include cash on hand, checking and savings accounts, stocks and bonds, and lump sum payments. See SNAP 7431 for instructions on denying an application when the household resources exceed the limits. Applications from expedited households with non-liquid resources which exceed the resource limit will be denied. The resource limits are: 1. Three thousand and five hundred dollars ($3,500) for households, including one (1) person households, with an age sixty (60) or older member or a member living with a disability as defined in the Glossary definition of age sixty (60) or older individual living with disabilities household; and
