Financial Management

Official source

If a SNAP household's monthly SNAP related expenses exceed the household's known monthly income and resources, discuss financial management with the customer. Ask the customer how they pay the expenses. They must explain financial management before SNAP benefits are issued. But they do not have to provide verification to prove it before expedited benefits are issued.

Document the customer's statements and explanation of their financial management.

If explaining financial management requires that the customer provide verification, request the verification (see PM 02-07-02 ). Deny the application if the customer does not provide the verification within 10 calendar days and has not asked for more time or help in getting the information.
