DATE OF RESOURCE ELIGIBILITY APPLICATION/RECERTIFICATION Resources available at the time the household is interviewed are used to make the resource determination. Changes in resources that occur or are reported after the interview but prior to the approval or denial of the application/recertification are disregarded for the month of application. The changes must be considered in determining resource eligibility for the second month’s benefit unless the second month’s benefit was already issued or timelines do not allow for an adverse action notice to be sent to the household (SNAP 104-1). CURRENT MONTH INCOME Income received in the month is excluded as a resource in the month it is received. If the income is deposited into a bank account, it is excluded as a resource in the month received but is countable for future months. CHIMES All resources, even if excluded per policy, are entered in CHIMES. Do not postpone benefits to verify resources for CE or ECE households. Enter all resource data for each filing unit member on appropriate pages. CHIMES processes the source data and displays it on the resource page. When changes are made to the financial screens, eligibility must be re-determined. If benefits are authorized for the current benefit month, changes to the financial screens will require the eligibility staff member to authorize the changed benefit. EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2024
