004.01(B)(iii)(1) ACTION ON REPORTED CHANGES IN HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION.

Household composition changes which are reported are acted on only to prevent duplicate participation or when the household requests to be recertified in the Simplified Reporting category. If a household member leaves the Transitional Benefit Reporting household, the allotment remains the same unless the individual leaving the Transitional Benefit Reporting household applies for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits on the applicant’s own behalf or requests to be added to another household. In these cases, the individual(s) leaving the household will be removed from the Transitional Benefit Reporting household to prevent duplicate participation. Additionally, any income, resources, and deductible expenses attributable to the individual(s) being removed from the household will be removed from the budget for the first possible month, allowing for either timely or adequate notice, whichever is applicable. The original household remains in Transitional Benefit Reporting unless the household requests to be recertified.
