 IF THE OFS 82 IS NOT RETURNED BY THE OTHER STATE AND THE APPLICANT DOES NOT PROVIDE VERIFICATION OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF CLOSURE FOR THE OUT-OF-STATE SNAP CASE, ANOTHER INQUIRY SHOULD BE MADE WITH THE INTERACTIVE VOICE RESPONSE SYSTEM ON DAY 30. IF THE CASE IS STILL REPORTED AS ACTIVE, THE APPLICATION SHOULD BE DENIED OR THE MEMBER REMOVED FOR RECEIPT OF BENEFITS OUT-OF-STATE.

 * If the applicant reported that their SNAP case is closed in the other state and both the applicant and the worker are unable to verify that the SNAP case is closed in the other state, the applicant’s statement that the SNAP case is closed may be accepted if duplicate participation is not considered questionable. **

EXCEPTION: Residents in an approved shelter for battered women and children may participate twice during the month of application if they participated first with the person who abused or threatened them with abuse. The abused person must go directly from the household to the shelter.

NOTE: Receipt of Nutrition Assistance Program (NAP) benefits from Puerto Rico, American Samoa, or the Mariana Islands during the same month as SNAP benefits are received is not considered duplicate participation because NAP benefits are considered inaccessible in the mainland United States.

When all household members move to another state, close the case and send a concurrent notice to the last known address.
