Volume 2 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) MS 5620 - R. 8/1/10 – OMTL – 368 Eligibility Months

Because of anticipated changes, a household may be eligible for the month of application, but ineligible for the subsequent month(s). The household is entitled to benefits for the month of application even if the benefits are issued in the subsequent month. Likewise, a household may be ineligible for the month of application, but eligible in the subsequent month(s) due to anticipated changes in circumstances. Even though it is denied for the month of application, the same application is used to determine eligibility for subsequent months without requiring the household to reapply. Normal timeliness standards are met.

As a result of anticipating changes and/or proration of benefits, the household's allotment for the month of application may differ from its allotment in subsequent months.

Document when applications are either approved or denied for current and subsequent months.
