Title 7: SNAP Page 12 Iowa Department of Health and Human Services Employees’ Manual Chapter A: Administration Responsibilities of the Department Revised June 20, 2025 Adjustment Due to Changes in FIP…  If the Department does not have enough notice, the adjustment in SNAP benefits must be effective no later than the month after the change in public assistance. Typically, these adjustments are done through a mass change to the ABC system, which automatically generates notices of decision to notify households of the change. When there is a federal benefit payment overall adjustment, such as social security cost-of-living increases, the change must be implemented no later than the second allotment after the month the change occurs. See 14-B(8), COLA Processing for more information. If the household requests a hearing, benefits are continued at the former level only if the issue appealed is that the calculation is wrong.
