C-825-7-SNAP - PR Louisiana Department of Health (LDH)

THE LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (LDH) RECEIVES DAILY FILES FROM THE *** LOUISIANA VITAL RECORDS REGISTRY (VRR) OF DECEASED INDIVIDUALS VIA LITE. LDH RUNS A MATCH BETWEEN DECEASED INDIVIDUALS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO RECEIVE SNAP AND THE ASSOCIATED FITAP OR KCSP.

LITE WILL AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE THE CASE OF EACH DECEASED INDIVIDUAL REPORTED THROUGH THE MATCH, EXCLUDE THE MEMBER SEND THE APPROPRIATE NOTICE TO THE HOUSEHOLD, IF REQUIRED, AND GENERATE AN AUTOMATED CASE NOTE IN LITE. However, a notice will not be generated for SNAP single person household cases since a notice is not required when all household members are deceased.

C-826-SNAP - PR RESOURCE CHANGES

Example:

A client reports receipt of a large lump sum payment from Worker’s Compensation. The payment puts her well over the resource limit.

• If the client provides verification of the resource, the change must be acted upon if the household is not categorically eligible.

• If verification is not provided, no action is taken. Document the report including the reason the change was not acted upon, but take no further action. Receipt of a resource is not a reportable change.

C-827-SNAP - PR HOUSEHOLD ELIGIBLE FOR 36-MONTH CERTIFICATION PERIOD REPORTS A CHANGE

THERE ARE NO PROCEDURES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS POLICY.

C-828-SNAP - PR CHANGES LEARNED OUTSIDE COURSE OF EMPLOYMENT

DO NOT INVESTIGATE OR ACT UPON A CHANGE LEARNED OUTSIDE THE COURSE OF EMPLOYMENT. A TASK SHOULD BE SET TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HOUSEHOLD REPORTS THE CHANGE AT THE NEXT SR OR REDETERMINATION.

EXAMPLE: OBSERVE HOUSEHOLD MEMBER WORKING AT A NEW JOB OR LEARN OF THE BIRTH OF A HOUSEHOLD MEMBER.
