9043.7 Recertification

Complete application process and approve or deny timely applications for recertification in accordance with DSSM 9091. Jointly processed households which have received a food stamp notice of expiration and go to an SSA office for an SSI redetermination will be entitled to make a timely application for recertification at the SSA office. SSA will forward the completed application, transmittal form, and any available verification to the designated food stamp office. A face-to-face interview will be waived if requested by a household consisting entirely of SSI participants unable to appoint an authorized representative. Provide SSI households with a notice of expiration in accordance with DSSM 9006, except that such notification will inform households consisting entirely of SSI recipients that they are entitled to a waiver of a face-to-face interview if the household is unable to appoint an authorized representative. Such households will not be required to appear at a second office interview, although DSS may conduct an out-of-office interview, if necessary.
