Volume 2 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) MS 6540 – R. 7/15/26 - OMTL – 702 Failure to Complete Recertification

[Households that fail to submit an application for recertification, or whose case is not processed by the last business day of the month the recertification is due, are automatically discontinued.

If a household is discontinued in error, click the “Reinstate button on the Case Summary Screen. Do not prorate benefits.

If a household fails to submit an application for recertification prior to the end of its certification period, and the household submits a new application during the following month, it is treated as a new application. If the household meets expedited SNAP criteria, provide them with expedited services. Prorate benefits from the date of application only if there is any lapse in the household's certification periods. If a migrant or seasonal farmworker household received SNAP benefits in the month prior to the application, do not prorate the benefits for the application month.]
