MS 6750 [1] Volume 2 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) MS 6750 – R. 5/1/26 – OMTL – 694 Acting on Changes Which Increase Benefits If a household reports a change that increases benefits, take the following action on the day the change is reported: A. [Enter the change on the system. B. If the change does not require verification, enter the change with client statement (CS) as the verification source. C. If the change must be verified, inform the household that verification of the change must be provided within 10 calendar days of the date reported. Enter the change to pend the case and issue a Request for Information (RFI) to the household. If the 10th calendar day falls on a weekend or holiday, the system allows the household until the next business day to provide the verification. D. If the household fails to provide the required verification within 10 calendar days, the reported but unverified information is not considered in allotment calculations. The system will revert to allowing the recipient’s previously verified amount. However, if verification is received at a later date, take action on the reported change no later than 10 days after verification is received. E. Do not increase benefits when a household's benefit from another means- tested program is decreased due to a failure to comply with requirements. See MS 5220 for instructions. F. A Notice of Eligibility is sent advising the household of action taken. Note: Refer to MS 6707 for information regarding acting on changes reported after cut-off that affect the next month's benefits when the case is due for recertification in the next month. See MS 6710 for additional details on changes to pending applications]
