SNAP CERTIFICATION MANUAL – SECTION 17000 4B17500 Transition to the Regular SNAP 24B17510 Households Certified Under the Regular SNAP

If the household's food was damaged by the disaster and the household must replace the food, then the SNAP benefit amount authorized under the Disaster Program will not be reduced by the benefits issued under the ongoing program. When it is not practical to determine, verify or otherwise take into account ongoing Program benefits, DCO may, with the approval of FNS, issue full disaster allotments to households who are certified under the ongoing Program. Rule 2: Households requesting a replacement of food purchased with SNAP benefits and subsequently destroyed will be referred to the county office for a normal replacement. Households will not be given replacements if they have received or will receive disaster SNAP benefits for the same period. Rule 3: Households certified under regular Program procedures that report changes during the application process for emergency assistance will be referred to the county office. The household is responsible for reporting the required information directly to the office which handles the regular case.
