who participate in MAC or NAPS may also get SNAP. See 0029.07.12 (Commodity Supplemental Food Program).

When a unit applies in Minnesota, and another state has issued SNAP for that month, but the unit says it did not get the SNAP benefits issued by the other state:

● If no members of the unit remain in the other state, and the case is NOT EXPEDITED, check with the other state to see when and if the SNAP case has been closed.

If the case IS EXPEDITED, try to confirm non-receipt with the other state, but do not delay issuing SNAP pending receipt of information. Issue SNAP based on the unit's written statement that they did not get their benefits in the other state, and that they understand the penalty for fraud.

If you find out later that a client actually did get SNAP in more than 1 state or county, the state or county which issued SNAP later must set up a claim. See 0025 (Benefit Adjustments and Recovery).

● If some of the previous unit members remain in the other state, DO NOT issue SNAP to the members who moved to Minnesota. People now in the unit who were not in the unit in the other state may be eligible.

When confirmation is received that the SNAP has been closed in the previous state, SNAP may be approved in Minnesota, if all other eligibility factors have been met. For a list of other states' SNAP contacts, see the National Directory of Contacts located on the MAXIS SIR web site under the SNAP Resource Page.

MSA: People may not receive MSA from more than 1 county in a month.

GA: People are not eligible for GA if they are eligible for a federally-funded cash assistance program. This includes people receiving SSI, receiving or eligible for MFIP, or receiving EA for current maintenance needs. This prohibition applies only if the federal program is currently funded so the people, if eligible, can receive benefits from it.

GRH: People may not receive GRH from more than 1 county in a month.
