11100 Reporting Requirements – Summary

SNAP Manual 09/01/2022 Ongoing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility and benefit amounts are based on a household’s current situation. To ensure current information about a household is available, reporting requirements are imposed on all households that apply for SNAP benefits and all households that receive SNAP benefits. There are two (2) types of reporting requirements: occasional reporting and limited reporting. Occasional reporters are subject to the regular reporting requirements. This means that the household must report specified changes within ten (10) days of the date the change becomes known. Limited reporters are required to report when the household’s gross income exceeds the household’s gross income limit. Some limited reporting households are assigned a four (4)- month certification period. These households have no other reporting requirements. Other Limited reporting households are assigned to six (6)-month certification period.

11110 Subsequent Reviews SNAP Manual 01/01/2021 Department of Human Services (DHS) county offices may not require households to report for an in-office interview during their certification period, although they may request households to do so. For example, the DHS county office may not require Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) households to report for an in-office interview simply to review their case files or for any other reason.
