Disqualified Members – When a person who has been disqualified becomes eligible, add him to the certified household the month after the month the disqualification ends. Ensure the person is still living in the household.

Examples of Action Required for Household Composition Changes:

Example: The current household consists of a woman and her child. The woman got married and her husband, who has income, moves into the home. This is reported to the agency by a responsible household member. The agency must determine the new household size, the new gross income limit for the new household size, and if the household remains eligible.

Example: The household reports that her sister’s three children are now living with her. Both sisters have an active SNAP case. The change is considered verified upon receipt since a change in household composition was reported by a responsible household member. A NOAA should be sent to the household in which the children were previously included to remove them and the children should be added to the new household.
