If there is a TANF case to which a newborn must be added effective the date of birth and a portion of the TANF grant is for days in a previous SNAP benefit, prorate the TANF grant and add only the TANF amount which covers days in the SNAP benefit that has not been paid. Example: The SNAP month is 4/1 – 4/30, the birth date is 4/15. A TANF underpayment for April is processed 4/25. Since the April SNAP benefit has already been paid, no adjustment is necessary for the SNAP benefit month of April. The child is added to the SNAP case and the May benefit is updated with the new ongoing TANF benefit amount.
