18500 Expedited Services

SNAP Manual 4/01/88 Eligible expedited households which participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program during periods of reduction will be issued SNAP based on the reduced maximum allotment in effect. These SNAP benefits must be issued to the household within the time frames specified in SNAP 9400. During periods of suspension, applications from eligible, expedited households will be processed within the time frames specified in SNAP 9400. However, no SNAP allotments will be issued until the suspension is lifted. Households eligible for expedited processing who apply during periods of Program cancellation will receive expedited service. However, there will be special processing timeframes. During periods of Program cancellation, expedited applications must be completed within two days or by the end of the month of application, whichever is later. No SNAP allotment will be issued during the month of cancellation. All other procedures specified in SNAP 9100 will apply to expedited applications during periods of Program reduction, cancellation and/or suspension.
