MS 6770 [1] Volume 2 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) MS 6770 – R. 5/1/26 – OMTL – 694 Providing Supplementals A household is eligible for a supplemental issuance based on a change if one of the following applies: A. A member is added, and the member is not a member of another certified household; or B. [There is a decrease of $100 or more in the household's gross monthly income. For active cases, at case change or recertification, when a change is reported, enter the date the individual became aware of the change and the date the individual reported the change. If the change was reported untimely, staff should re-run eligibility from the first day of the month the individual became aware of the change. If benefits are owed to the household for any of the previous months, they will be shown on the Underpayment Discrepancies screen after running eligibility. Once the case is disposed, the system will automatically issue the supplemental payment to the individual.] Manual supplemental requests are completed through Benefit Management and automatically create a task for supervisor review. If a change is reported on or before the 20th calendar day of the month and verification is provided timely, authorize supplemental benefits beginning the month the change was reported. If the change is reported after the 20th calendar day of the month and verification is provided timely, authorize supplemental benefits beginning the month the change should have been effective. If required verification is not provided timely, authorize supplemental benefits beginning the month following the month verification is provided. [The “Replacements, Supplementals, and Restorations” report captures all related manual and system-issued tasks and captures actions initiated by staff. The report is posted on the 4th workday of each month, reporting information for the previous month. It can be accessed on the system via the “Tools” tab. Regional office staff is to review and annotate this report by the 20th of each month and forward the annotated report to the Nutrition Assistance Branch Inbox.]
