IF THE REPORTED CHANGE RESULTS IN AN INCREASE IN BENEFITS, REQUEST VERIFICATION, IF NECESSARY. ALLOW THE HOUSEHOLD 10 DAYS TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED VERIFICATION. IF THE 10TH DAY FALLS ON A WEEKEND OR HOLIDAY, THE DUE DATE BECOMES THE FOLLOWING WORKDAY.

 IF THE VERIFICATION IS RECEIVED BY THE DUE DATE GIVEN ON THE REQUEST FOR VERIFICATION, INCREASE BENEFITS EFFECTIVE THE MONTH AFTER THE CHANGE WAS REPORTED. AUTHORIZE SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS IF NECESSARY. SEND CONCURRENT NOTICE.

 IF VERIFICATION IS NOT RECEIVED BY THE DUE DATE, BUT IS LATER PROVIDED, INCREASE BENEFITS EFFECTIVE THE MONTH AFTER THE VERIFICATION IS RECEIVED. SEND CONCURRENT NOTICE.

 IF THE HOUSEHOLD DOES NOT PROVIDE VERIFICATION, DO NOT TAKE ACTION TO INCREASE BENEFITS. NO FURTHER ACTION WILL BE REQUIRED.

 A NOTE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE REQUEST FOR VERIFICATION, THAT BENEFITS CANNOT BE INCREASED UNTIL THE VERIFICATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED.

IF THE REPORTED CHANGE RESULTS IN AN INCREASE IN BENEFITS AND IS REPORTED ON THE SIMPLIFIED REPORT IN THE MONTH PRIOR TO THE REPORT MONTH, INCREASE BENEFITS EFFECTIVE THE MONTH AFTER THE CHANGE IS REPORTED IF THE VERIFICATION IS RECEIVED BY THE DUE DATE GIVEN ON THE REQUEST FOR VERIFICATION. AUTHORIZE SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS, IF NECESSARY.

(SEE C-850-SNAP/FITAP FOR PROCEDURES TO DETERMINE IF THE FIRST MONTH BENEFITS ARE AFFECTED.)

A REQUEST FOR VERIFICATION SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO REQUEST VERIFICATION FOR INFORMATION REPORTED ON THE SIMPLIFIED REPORT. THE SIMPLIFIED REPORT IS CONSIDERED THE REQUEST FOR VERIFICATION AT SIMPLIFIED REPORT. THE 5TH OF THE SR MONTH IS THE DUE DATE FOR THE REQUESTED VERIFICATION.

EXAMPLE: A JUNE SIMPLIFIED REPORT IS RECEIVED IN THE OFFICE ON MAY 30. THE CLIENT REPORTS THAT PREVIOUSLY VERIFIED CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE DECREASED FROM $350 PER MONTH TO $100 PER MONTH. NO VERIFICATION IS PROVIDED.
