Adequate Notice

An adequate notice must be sent to arrive by the date of change.

For SNAP, give an adequate notice when:

stopping benefits because the client voluntarily requests that they be stopped. Fully document the request in the case record;

stopping benefits due to verified information that the client will not be residing in the Family Community Resource Center area and will not be able to obtain its next SNAP benefit.

Adequate notices must contain a statement that benefits will continue in the previous amount if an appeal is filed on or before the date of change or within 10 days of the date of notice, whichever is later, unless the client asks that benefits not be continued.
