003.04(D) NOTICE EXEMPTIONS.

Individual notices of action are not required in cases when the agency action is due to: (i) A mass change; (ii) The death of all household members; (iii) The entire household moves out of the state; (iv) The completion of a restoration of benefits period if the household was previously informed in writing when the increased restoration of benefits would terminate; (v) Month-to-month variances in the household’s allotment provided the household was notified of the exact allotment(s) at the time of certification; (vi) Initial receipt of an Aid to Dependent Children Program grant provided the household was notified at the time of certification that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits would decrease upon approval of the Aid to Dependent Children Program grant; (vii) A household member being disqualified for intentional program violation; (viii) Verification being received which would terminate or reduce benefits for an expedited case when a certification period of more than one month was assigned. The household must have been informed at the time of certification that the Department would act on verified information without further notice; (ix) The conversion of a household from cash repayment of an intentional program violation claim to benefit reduction as a result of failure to make cash repayment; (x) A resident of a chemical dependency treatment center or group home becoming ineligible because of the facility losing its license with the appropriate state agency. Residents of a group home which loses its license or certification may still apply on their own behalf; and (xi) The voluntary request of the household that its participation be terminated. If the household does not put the request in writing, the Department will send a letter confirming the request. The written confirmation will allow the household to request a fair hearing but does not have to meet other adverse action requirements.
