The eligibility staff member must review the original application as well as any pertinent changes that have taken place since the application was filed. Do NOT require the household to be interviewed again. However, information must be updated in CHIMES and any changes on the application must be narrated in the case note. NOTE: Tribal TANF and SSI do not have combined applications with SNAP. Therefore, the above information applies when notification of Tribal TANF or SSI approval is received.

TANF, TANF Post Employment, Tribal TANF or SSI benefits are terminated. 2. A household member is disqualified from TANF or Tribal TANF. 3. A new member is added or removed.
