SNAP CERTIFICATION MANUAL – SECTION 11000 11300 Reporting Requirements 11350 Occasional Reporters

Changes reported independent of the limited reporting requirements will be processed according to the standards in SNAP 11410. Any action taken in a Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA), or Medicaid case must also be reflected in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) case. This includes changes reported to a TEA or Medicaid worker under that program’s rules. Changes in the amount of TEA cash assistance must be reflected in the SNAP case. This applies to both limited reporting and to occasional reporting households. See SNAP 12410 - 12420. The limited reporting household must report required changes at recertification. If the household’s failure to report those changes results in an over issuance or under issuance, the household will be considered at fault. If an under issuance occurs because the household failed to report a change at recertification, no restored benefits will be issued to the household. See SNAP 13000. If an over issuance occurs, an overpayment will be prepared as instructed in SNAP 15400.

11350 Occasional Reporters SNAP MANUAL 01/01/2021 Households classified as occasional reporters as explained in SNAP 11100 must report the changes specified in SNAP 11200 within ten (10) calendar days of the date the change becomes known to the household. Occasional Reporters may report changes on a Change Report Form or may send a letter describing the change. Changes may also be reported by telephone or in person. An occasional reporting household that fails to timely report a change is considered at fault for any resulting over issuances or under issuances of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. If an under issuance occurs because the household failed to timely report a change, no restored benefits will be authorized. If an over-issuance occurs, an overpayment will be prepared as instructed in SNAP 15400.
