1832 Household Composition SNAP Manual 12/01/98 SNAP applications will be accepted for an individual applying as a one-person household or for any grouping of residents applying as a household. The household will make either through an AR or through direct application applications for groups of residents. (Any group living residents who apply through the group living arrangement’s AR must be certified as a one-person household.)

1833 Work Registration SNAP Manual 12/01/98 Residents of group living arrangements are not subject to work registration.

1834 When Residents of Group Living Arrangements Leave SNAP Manual 12/01/98 A group living arrangement will no longer act as AR for a resident when the resident leaves the arrangement. If the group living arrangement is acting as an AR for a resident when that resident leaves the facility, the group living arrangement will return the resident’s EBT card to the resident. The resident, not the group living arrangement, will be entitled to any EBT benefits remaining in the account when the resident leaves. If the resident leaves before the 16th day of the month, the resident is entitled to at least one- half the full monthly benefit amount. If the resident leaves after on or after the 16th day of the month and all the SNAP benefits have already been used on behalf of the resident, he or she will not be entitled to any additional benefits for the month.

1835 Reporting Changes SNAP Manual 06/06/01 Any resident of a group living arrangements who has made application in his or her own behalf is responsible for reporting changes in his or her circumstances to the DHS county office. If the group living arrangement is acting in the capacity of an authorized representative, the responsible group living arrangement employee must notify the county office of changes in the household’s income or other circumstances. This includes reporting if the resident leaves the group living arrangement.
