3. If the disqualification period includes the pending eligibility period, the disqualification is applied when the application is disposed.

J. An IPV disqualification does not pend for adverse action.

K. Once a disqualification period begins, it continues uninterrupted for the entire number of months, regardless of whether the disqualified individual’s household is eligible for benefits. The disqualification period does not start and stop depending on the household's eligibility.

L. After disqualification periods have ended, the disqualified individual must be added back to the SNAP case as a household member. Complete a case change to add the individual.

M. If a disqualification is not imposed timely, impose the penalty showing the proper disqualification period. Establish an Agency Error (AE) claim for any months benefits were received when the individual should have been disqualified in accordance with MS 1030.

Establish an AE claim for January through June if the individual received benefits.
