31.8 Prorated Benefits at Initial Application.

Prorated benefits for initial month are issued when the household: A. Applies after the 1st day of the month. Benefits are issued from the date of application through the last day of the month. B. Is at fault for a delay in the application process preventing the case from being processed within the first 30 days. When eligibility is determined during the second 30-day period, benefits are issued from the date the household takes the required action to the end of the month. Therefore, the household is not entitled to benefits for the month of application. Source: 7 CFR §273.10(a)(1)(ii); 7 CFR §273.2(h)(2) Revised: March 2022
