automatically enrolled eligible households:

(i) single SSI, live-alone households, not currently receiving SNAP benefits, designated with an SSI Federal living arrangement code A, and a State SSI supplemental code A. These are individuals that SSA and the office have determined to be separate, independent households; even if they are physically living with others. These households are automatically enrolled in the NYSCAP, except as otherwise provided by this section;

(ii) automatic enrollment of a NYSCAP case for an individual will be stopped if an exception situation exists for that individual. The NYSCAP case will not be automatically enrolled. The exception reason must be reviewed and resolved, and its effect on eligibility for SNAP and for participation in the NYSCAP must be determined prior to manually opening a NYSCAP case. Exception situations include but are not limited to:

(a) the individual is a member of a household that has a pending application for SNAP benefits;

(b) the individual is sanctioned or disqualified from participation in the SNAP due to a SNAP intentional program violation (IPV);

(c) the last case action recorded in the welfare management system, (WMS) or any system of record that succeeds WMS, for a SNAP household of which the individual was a member, was the closure of the case due to the request of the household; and

(d) the last case action recorded in WMS, for a SNAP household of which the individual was the only member, is the termination of an automatic NYSCAP enrollment because the individual failed to redeem SNAP benefits following the automatic enrollment in the NYSCAP, as provided by this section.
