MEMBER ADDS/ DELETES A member add that increases benefits is effective the month after it is reported or, if the new member left another group, the month after the member delete. See BAM 220, Case Actions, All Other Reported Changes. In determining the potential FAP benefit increase, Bridges assumes the FIP/SDA supplement and new grant amount have been authorized. When a member leaves a group to apply on their own or to join another group, a member delete should be completed in the month the local office learns of the application/member add. Initiate recoupment if necessary. If the member delete decreases benefits, adequate notice is allowed. NON-GROUP MEMBERS Persons might live with the FAP group or applicant group who are not group members. Do not consider their income and assets (for non-categorically eligible groups) when determining the group's eligibility. Furloughed Prisoner A furloughed prisoner is a person on leave from a correctional insti- tution. The Department of Corrections provides meals or meal money to such persons.
