Volume 2 – Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) MS 6460 – R. 5/31/26 – OMTL – 695 Assigning Certification Periods for Expedited Services

[The system-assigned certification periods for expedited applications with postponed verification cannot be changed.

A. Expedited applications with postponed verification taken on or before the 15th of the month are assigned a one-month certification period. A recertification interview must be completed by the last working day of the month in which the application is approved.

B. Expedited applications with postponed verification taken after the 15th of the month are assigned a two-month certification period. A recertification interview must be completed by the last working day of the last month of the certification period.

A recertification interview must be conducted. If the individual does not complete the recertification interview, the case is discontinued at the end of the certification period. If the individual reapplies, they are not eligible to receive expedited services for the reapplication month unless the household completes verification requirements that were postponed at the previous expedited certification.

C. If a household meeting expedited criteria provides all verification, the system assigns a normal certification period.]
