The 13-day adverse action notice must explain the reason for the disqualification/exclusion and what the person has to do to become qualified, and the benefits of remaining members. All SNAP household benefits are from the 1st through the last day of the month so the adverse action date will be the same date for all cases. Ongoing benefits are available in the EBT account on the first day of each month. The adverse action date is displayed on the Statement of Needs screen on the Case Info BAP. See E&P MS C-260 SNAP Adverse Action Dates. The adverse action date count begins with the last day of the month and counts backward (e.g., issuance ends 3/31/02, adverse action cut-off is 3/19/02). Computer action must take place no later than this date. However, to meet adverse action notification requirements, computer posting must occur 14 days prior to the affected benefit, unless a local print is done on the actual adverse date. Include holidays and weekends in the adverse action count. 421.8 Reserved (toc) 421.9 Ending Disqualification (toc) When a disqualified/excluded member becomes eligible, add them to the household the month following the end of the disqualification/exclusion. Depending upon the type of change in circumstances, a supplemental issuance may be applicable. To add a previously disqualified member: • change the disqualified/excluded member to a participating member code in the computer, which also stops proration of their income and expense; and • complete/update other necessary computer screens. 421.10 Verification (toc) Disqualified/Excluded members (otherwise required members) are considered part of the household although not allowed to participate. Their circumstances, including income and resources, are subject to verification the same as any other member. 422 MEMBERS DISQUALIFIED BECAUSE OF INTENTIONAL PROGRAM VIOLATION (IPV), FLEEING FELON, INELIGIBLE ABAWDS, AND INELIGIBLE NON-CITIZENS (toc) Members disqualified because of Intentional Program Violation (IPV), status as a fleeing felon, ineligible ABAWDS, and ineligible non-citizens income and resources, are subject to verification the same as any other member.
