One Time Only Expenses

Official source

If a unit, using actual medical expenses instead of a Standard Medical Deduction, wants to average a one time only medical expense over the remaining months of the approval period, take the action effective for the month the Family Community Resource Center (FCRC) is required to take action on the change (see PM 18-04-07 ) . At initial approval and at SNAP REDE, begin averaging with the first month of the new approval period.

If a unit is making installment payments on a bill, allow a deduction for the payment if the payment plan was set up when the expense was first billed or came due.

NOTE: To allow a medical expense, the amount must be over $35. When averaging medical expenses, if the averaged amount is $35 or less, the expense must be used on a one time only basis.
