member. If the treatment center resident is the only household member, the SNAP case will be adjusted to reflect the household’s current circumstances. If the treatment center resident is certified to receive SNAP benefits in a county other than the county where the treatment center is located, the DHS county office where the center is located must notify the county where the resident is certified. If the resident is the only household member, the county office where the resident is certified must close the case and transfer it to the county where the center is located. Once the original case has been closed and transferred, any application submitted by the center may be processed. If there are other household members, the worker will proceed as instructed in SNAP 12226, “Household Division.” Once the original case has been closed and transferred or adjusted, any application submitted by the center for this resident may be processed.

1824 Monthly Reports and On-Site Visits SNAP Manual 02/01/20 Each treatment and rehabilitation center must maintain a Daily Census Report. A copy will be provided to the appropriate county office at the end of each month. Daily and monthly totals must be shown. If a treatment center has multiple locations, each location must maintain and submit Daily Census Reports. County offices will make random on-site visits to each participating treatment and rehabilitation center located in that county. At least one such visit will be made each year. If a center has multiple locations, each site must be visited. The purpose of the visit will be to ensure the accuracy of the Daily Census Report by comparing it to the center’s records. A Record of On-Site Visit will be used to document the on-site visit. The Record of On-Site Visit may be accessed via DHS SHARE.
