SNAP CERTIFICATION MANUAL – SECTION 11000 11660 Shortening the Certification Period

5. Case Closed at Household’s Request When a household voluntarily requests case closure in writing, no notice is required. If a verbal request for closure is made by the household in the presence of the eligibility worker, written confirmation of the closure will be issued via a Notice of Action. The written confirmation will not offer the household the same protection as an adequate notice. If the household appeals an action to close the case, benefits will not be continued pending a decision.
