2035.35.00 DETERMINATION OF INELIGIBILITY
An AG is to be denied if just one eligibility requirement fails to be met causing the entire AG to be ineligible. However, if other requirements are not met, all reasons for denial must be entered. 2035.40.00 AUTHORIZATION
An AG must be authorized when all required eligibility information is documented, and the determination of eligibility is complete. Authorization of an AG is not to be delayed while awaiting completion of the eligibility determination for other AGs in the case.
Before authorizing an AG, the eligibility worker should carefully review all data in the eligibility system for accuracy. 2035.50.00 EFFECTIVE DATE (S)
The effective date for SNAP assistance is the date of application, unless the initial month(s) is denied, or an AG delay has occurred which revises the effective date.
If any Migrant/Seasonal Farm Worker AG was certified for the month prior to the application month in any state or county, benefits will not be prorated from the application date, but will receive a full month's benefits. 2035.55.00 EFFECTIVE DATE (C)
The effective date of assistance is the first of the month following the date of application except when an application is filed on the first day of a month containing 31 days.
In this instance, the effective date is the 31st day of the month. Benefits for this day are prorated by the eligibility system. If an application is filed on January, March, May, July, August, October, or December first, a benefit is calculated for the 31st day only.
A person applying for Cash Assistance in Indiana who has received case assistance in another state cannot receive benefits in Indiana until the other state has verified benefit discontinuance. Cash assistance effective date can be no earlier than the discontinuance date in the other state. 2040.00.00 REAPPLICATIONS
A reapplication may be made at any time by an individual whose application for assistance was denied or whose assistance was discontinued. • If a recipient comes into compliance prior to the effective date of the discontinuance, it is appropriate to rescind the adverse action rather than to require a reapplication. • An individual who appeals a denial or discontinuance which had become effective may file a reapplication at any time.
