SNAP CERTIFICATION MANUAL – SECTION 10000 10400 Untimely Submission of an Application for Recertification
10400 Untimely Submission of an Application for Recertification
SNAP MANUAL 01/01/2021 A recertification application received after the household’s deadline to timely file, but within thirty (30) days of the last day of the month in which the household’s certification period expired, is classified as an untimely application. A household submitting an untimely recertification form loses the right to uninterrupted benefits. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for the first month of the certification period will not be prorated if the household applies before the end of its current certification period and there are no delays in the processing of the application. Benefits will be prorated for eligible households that reapply after their certification period expires, even though the application is classified as a recertification.
