When a resident moves from the facility, the GLA must comply as follows:

Notify the local office of the resident’s departure.

Give the former resident his or her Independence card.

Give the departing resident his or her full allotment if issued and if nothing has been spent on his or her behalf. This procedure is applicable at any time during the month.

If benefits have been issued and any portion spent on behalf of the individual, the amount the former resident receives is contingent upon the departure date.

If the individual leaves the GLA within 16 days of the receipt of the SNAP benefit, he/she is entitled to one-half of the monthly allotment.

If the individual leaves the GLA on or after 16 days following receipt of the SNAP benefit, he or she will receive nothing.

If the individual leaving the GLA has been certified with a group of residents as one household, allow a pro-rata share of one-half of the allotment when the individual leaves prior to the 16th day after receipt of the month’s SNAP.
