430.5 Cash Assistance (CA) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Households (Categorical Eligibility)

On the notice of denial for non-public assistance SNAP benefits for a household that is potentially eligible in accordance with Section 115 (Categorical Eligibility), the local department must ask the household to inform them if the household is subsequently approved to receive cash assistance or SSI benefits.

Optional Adequate Notice

When local department mail is sent to a household and it is returned by the post office indicating no forwarding address, it is not necessary to send a notice of adverse action to an address that is known to be incorrect.

The local department may, at its option, send the household a notice of adverse action.

A household whose benefits are terminated without receiving a notice of adverse action is still entitled to an administrative hearing and restoration of benefits if appropriate.

NOTE: The local department must make all reasonable efforts to contact the household (e.g. via telephone or email) before terminating SNAP benefits when the adequate notice is returned by the post office indicating no known forwarding address.
