PROCESSING A LATE COMBINED SIX-MONTH REPORT

0007.03.07

MFIP, DWP, MSA, GA: For the month the Combined Six-Month Report (CSR) (DHS-5576) (PDF) replaces a Household Report Form, follow the provisions in 0007.03.06 (Processing a Late HRF).

SNAP: Reinstate eligibility which was terminated for failure to provide a complete Combined Six-Month Report (CSR) (DHS-5576) (PDF) if:

● You receive a complete CSR in the calendar month after the month the CSR was due.

AND

● All mandatory verifications needed to process the CSR have been provided.

AND

● The unit is otherwise eligible.

Send the unit notice of the benefit amount. See 0026 (Notices).

Prorate benefits from the date that the CSR form and all necessary verifications are received. See 0022.12.03 (Proration).

If an application is received the month prior to the CSR being due and in place of the CSR, do not require the completion of a CSR. Treat the application as a six-month review, with no expedited determination and no interview.

If an application is received in the month after the CSR was due, treat the application as a new application and screen for expedited SNAP. See 0005 (Applications) for more information about accepting and processing applications.

If the unit is ineligible, give or send the unit a new closing notice with the appropriate reason code.

Do not require a new application if the CSR form and all necessary verifications are received after the effective date of closing. See 0005.09.03 (When People Must Complete an Application), 0022 (Budgeting and Benefit Determination). Do not change the recertification date. See 0009 (Recertification).

GRH: Follow SNAP for Six-Month Reporters, except do not prorate benefits.
