Q7: If I’m not receiving the Standard Utility Allowance (SUA) and think my household qualifies for the SUA, should I let someone know? A: Yes! Contact your local Department of Social Services (SNAP office) to report if your household includes an elderly or disabled member or if you receive an energy assistance payment. The local office can verify your eligibility and ensure a Standard Utility Allowance SUA is applied to your case.

A: Good question! The new policy applies to SNAP applications after November 1, 2025 and to active cases at redetermination date on or after November 1, 2025. *Note: Changes in household circumstances may be reported to your local department of social services at any time throughout the certification period.
