DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES FAMILY INVESTMENT ADMINISTRATION SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP) MANUAL WORK REGISTRATION Section 130 Page 12

130.18 Determination of Voluntary Quit (continued) the certification period, do not include the individual in the household for the corresponding period of time beginning with the day after the last certification period ends. ii. Example: Mr. A’s certification period is scheduled to end April 30. He completes his redetermination interview on April 15 for himself and two children ages 14 and 15. At that time the case manager finds that he voluntarily quit his job on April 3 and there is a voluntary quit disqualification from 6 months ago. Since this is his second work requirement sanction, he is ineligible for three months or until the date of compliance, whichever is later. g. If the household does not reapply for SNAP benefits by the end of the certification period after a member voluntarily quits a job, establish an overpayment claim for the SNAP benefits received by the household for the length of the penalty, as described in section 130.12(B), beginning the first of the month after the month in which the quit occurred

i. Example: On May 15 the case manager discovered that Mr. B quit a job on March 4. This is his second violation. Mr. B’s certification period ended May 31 and he did not reapply. Mr. B would not be eligible for April or May benefits. The penalty for a 2nd voluntary quit is three months or until compliance. The case manager establishes an overpayment claim for the SNAP benefits received in April and May. Mr. B is not eligible until July 1 or until he complies with the work requirements whichever is later. If Mr. B reapplies in July, if he is not working another job of 30 hours a week or equivalent to 30 times the federal minimum wage, he remains ineligible.

ii. NOTE: If the participating household’s SNAP benefits continue pending a fair hearing SNAP benefits do not extend past the end of the certification period and the local department determination is upheld, the disqualification period begins the first of the month after the hearing decision is rendered. ______________________________________________________________________ REVISED SEPTEMBER 2025
