• any household (except those specifically excluded below) in which all members receive or are authorized to receive TANF cash assistance and/, or SSI benefits are categorically eligible for FS, or • any household that receives a TANF-funded brochure on Domestic Violence Services, and whose monthly income is at or below 200% of Federal Poverty Level Households in Which all Members Receive TANF or SSI Categorical eligibility for FS may be granted to households whose members are ALL current TANF and/or SSI recipients. A recipient is a person who is: • receiving TANF and/or SSI; • authorized for such benefits but who has not received payment. (Residents of public institutions who apply jointly for SSI and FS benefits prior to their release from the institution are not categorically eligible based upon a finding by SSA of potential SSI eligibility prior to such release. The individuals are considered categorically eligible when a final SSI eligibility determination has been made, and the individual has been released from the institution); • eligible for such benefits, but benefits are suspended or recouped; or • eligible for TANF benefits of less than $10 monthly and therefore not receiving a payment. To be included in the FS group, a TANF or SSI recipient must meet the citizenship/alienage requirements of the Food Stamp Program. The citizenship/alienage requirements for TANF and SSI differ from those of the Food Stamp program. TANF and SSI recipients who do not meet the citizenship/alienage requirements of the Food Stamp Program cannot get FS even though they meet the requirement for categorical eligibility. In addition, the limitations on student eligibility (see Section 4.5.2: School Attendance in this Part) for FS do not apply since all TANF and SSI recipients qualify for exemption from student eligibility requirements. Households Who Receive a TANF-Funded Brochure Food Stamp regulations allow the expansion of categorical eligibility to households that receive TANF-funded services. In order to convey expanded categorical eligibility to households that include persons who do not get TANF or SSI, the SSR will distribute a TANF- funded brochure notifying Food Stamp applicants and recipients about the availability of Domestic Violence services. The Domestic Violence Brochure must be given to all households applying or recertifying for FS benefits. The SSR must record in the dictation that the Domestic Violence brochure was given to the household. ESA will provide the Domestic Violence brochure to all households applying or recertifying for FS benefits in person, through the mail, on-line, or by any other electronic means. However, only households whose gross income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) will qualify for expanded categorical eligibility, based on the provision of the TANF-funded brochure.
