SNAP CERTIFICATION MANUAL – SECTION 17000 3B17400 Administrative Hearings 23B17380 Notices

17380 Notices SNAP Manual 09/01/06 A Notice of Action (DCO-1) will be issued to the household. The notice will specify the household's eligibility or ineligibility and, for eligible households, the benefit amount.

17400 Administrative Hearings

SNAP Manual 12/01/98 Households denied disaster benefits may request an administrative hearing. Households requesting hearings will be offered immediate supervisory reviews due to the time that is likely to pass before a hearing decision can be rendered. The supervisory review will not replace the administrative hearing.

17500 Transition to the Regular SNAP

SNAP Manual 09/01/06 SNAP benefits issued to a household under DSNAP rules will be used to offset benefits issued under regular Program rules. For example, a household applies for SNAP benefits under a DSNAP on March 6. On March 20, the household applies under regular Program rules and is determined eligible. The household's March benefits will be offset by the benefits certified under the DSNAP.

17510 Households Certified Under the Regular SNAP SNAP Manual 09/01/06 The following rules apply to households certified under the regular program that request assistance due to a declared disaster: Rule 1: Households currently certified for the ongoing Program may also be eligible for temporary emergency SNAP assistance during disasters. These households will be allowed to apply for DSNAP assistance. Their eligibility will be determined in the same manner as any other disaster victim. DHS will reduce the amount of disaster benefits issued to currently certified households by the amount of SNAP issued to the household under the ongoing Program for the same period.
