Volume 2 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) MS 2715 – R. 6/15/26 – OMTL – 643 Supports for Community Living (SCL) Programs

[Some residential group homes for disabled individuals are operated under a Medicaid Waiver, known as Supports for Community Living (SCL). SCL provider organizations in Kentucky are all licensed, public institutions and are therefore considered Group Living Arrangements (GLA’s) as defined in MS 2000.

The residents of these facilities receive supportive services from the organization operating the homes, but the residents may or may not be responsible for their own shelter and food. Even though all meals may be provided, GLA’s have an exception from institutional status. Therefore, if all other eligibility requirements are met, these residents may receive SNAP.

The Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) will determine what portion of the program fee paid to the SCL provider is for shelter and include that amount in the calculation for SNAP benefits.]
