310 Notification to Recertify

Households certified for one or two months shall receive, at the time of certification, a separate notice of recertification responsibilities entitled Notice of Expiration. Those households certified for three months or more (except public assistance households) shall receive a separate Notice of Expiration in the month prior to the last month of their certification period. This notice will be mailed by the Department no earlier than the first day of the next-to-last month of certification or no later than the last day of the next-to-last month of certification. The contents of the notice are set forth in 106 CMR 364.840: Notice of SNAP Termination. Public assistance households shall receive a notice of recertification responsibilities prior to the end of the SNAP certification period. In some instances, these households are recertified for SNAP at the same time as their public assistance redetermination.
