Verification is not needed or eligibility factors were substantiated; 2. SSN requirements are fulfilled; and 3. Work registration requirements are met. Either a one- or two-month certification period will be assigned to households approved under expedited guidelines. A one-month certification period will be assigned when the expedited application was filed on or before the fifteenth day of the month. A two-month certification period will be assigned when the expedited application was filed on or after the sixteenth day of the month and approved the same month. When a household submits an expedited application after the fifteenth of the month and that application is approved before the end of the month, the household is issued aggregate benefits for the month of application and the following month. For this reason, a two-month certification is usually assigned. See SNAP 8651 for a full explanation of aggregate benefits.
