(a) Eligible households. The process for enrollment of eligible households in the NYSCAP is set forth below:
(1) 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.

(2) Conversion of NYSCAP-Eligible Current SNAP Recipient Households to the NYSCAP:
(i) current SNAP recipients who are determined eligible for SSI will be converted to the NYSCAP; and
(ii) automatic conversion of a currently active regular SNAP case to the NYSCAP will be stopped if an exception situation exists for that household. The NYSCAP case will not be automatically enrolled, and the exception reason must be reviewed by the social services district for possible resolution and subsequent NYSCAP enrollment. Exceptions include but are not limited to:
(a) case exception reasons:
(1) the individual is a member of a household that has a pending application for SNAP benefits;
(2) the individual is sanctioned or disqualified from participating in the SNAP due to a SNAP IPV;
