10110 Regular Households SNAP Manual 01/01/2021
Regular households will complete the recertification application to apply for continued participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). A eligibility worker will review the information provided with the application and request additional information if not supplied by the household – e.g., if income verification was not available through The Work Number, the worker will send an earned income verification statement to the household. A Notice of Recertification Appointment will be attached if additional information is needed and a BRM envelope will be supplied for the household to return information. An eligibility worker will conduct an interview by telephone, face-to-face, or virtually. During the interview, the eligibility worker will request any additional information needed to complete the application. If the household does not appear for an appointment or is not available at the appointed time for the telephone interview, the eligibility worker will issue a Notice of Missed Appointment to the household. If the household does not request another appointment for an interview, the application for recertification will be denied. If the household is interviewed, the worker either will determine eligibility or request additional information, Request for Information.
