636 637 CHANGING A SNAP CASE FROM NA TO PA Use the procedures in manual section A-161 to change an NA case to TANF PA when processing joint applications and use the following procedures to change an ongoing NA case to TANF PA. 0B Step Action 1 Make the necessary adjustments to the SNAP case, such as household composition, income, deductions, expenses, etc. 2 Change the suffix category to categorical eligibility status in the computer. 3 Send the appropriate customer notice. 4 If the SNAP certification period expires . . . Then . . . before the month in which the next TANF redetermination is due • ensure the household understands it must reapply to receive uninterrupted benefits; • process a SNAP recertification when the application is received; and • use the SNAP application as a redetermination for the related TANF case. the same month the next TANF redetermination is due or afterwards • process a SNAP recertification with the next TANF redetermination; Note: Redetermination periods may be adjusted to align the TANF RD to the SNAP certification period. Use the SNAP Recertification to process a TANF redetermination to align the SNAP and the TANF periods. SNAP certification periods must be determined based on policy in A-1824. SNAP INCREASES CAUSED BY REDUCED OR TERMINATED TANF When TANF cash is reduced as a result of an IPV disqualification, do not increase SNAP benefits. For all other TANF reductions or terminations, increase SNAP benefits with the changed updated TANF amount. Provide supplemental or restored benefits if necessary. Example: The TANF grant of $468 is reduced to $400 and the household begins paying rent of $500 effective May 1, these changes were known to the agency April 28th. The SNAP case is not updated until May 3rd; therefore, a supplemental benefit is required. Example: The TANF grant of $468 is reduced to $400 effective June 1 and the household size increases by two persons. The case is updated on May 12 for the June 1 allotment. No supplemental benefit is necessary. Note: A supplement can only be done if the issuance month being supplemented has not ended. Once the benefit month has ended, the benefits must be restored, see manual section B-800, Restored Benefits.
