SNAP assistance groups containing all elderly and/or disabled members with no earned and/or self-employment income (known as Elderly Simplified Application Project (ESAP) will not be required to complete a SNAP Interim Report.

For those who are subject to interim reporting, the following is the timeline for Interim Reports:

• The system will send applicable AGs the SNAP Interim Report at 6 calendar days prior to recur date in the month prior to the Interim Report month (either the 5th or 11th month of the certification period). • The SNAP Interim Report is sent with a cover letter to explain the form and provide instructions and inform of which verifications may be needed. • If a client turns age 60 during the certification period, there is still a requirement to submit an Interim Report at 6 months. This AG would not be considered elderly/disabled AG. At the next certification the AG will not be required to submit a SNAP Interim Report. • The due date for the SNAP Interim Report is the 1st calendar day (or the next business day if the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday) of the Interim Report month (either the 6th or 12th of certification of the period). • If a SNAP Interim Report is not submitted by the 1st calendar day (or next business day if the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday) of the Interim Report month, a reminder notice will be sent to the AG and the Authorized Representative that the Interim Report is due within 10 days of the mailing of the reminder notice. • If the SNAP Interim Report is not received, the AG will be set for system closure in time to allow for notice of adverse action. • If the SNAP Interim Report is submitted prior to the effective date of closure, a rescinding action must be taken. 2212.05.00 COMPLETE INTERIM REPORTS (S)
