In addition, individuals are considered recipients of TANF or SSI if their TANF or SSI benefits are suspended or recouped. Individuals entitled to TANF or SSI benefits but who are not paid such benefits because the grant is less than a minimum benefit are also considered recipients. SCDSS will not consider as recipients those individuals not receiving TANF or SSI benefits who are entitled to Medicaid only. Eligibility for expanded categorical eligibility through Family Independence Information and Referral Services will be determined prior to SNAP eligibility determination. The applicant’s statement of gross income is accepted to initially establish eligibility for Family Independence Information and Referral Services. Signature of the SNAP applicant who makes initial application in person, including those who are also applying for TANF, will be obtained on the DSS Form 3800, acknowledging notification of eligibility for Family Independence Information and Referral Services. Family Independence Information and Referral Services brochures will be available to these households. Economic Services workers will discuss Family Independence Information and Referral Services with applicants whose SNAP application is received through the mail, facsimile, or through the internet. Family Independence Information and Referral Services brochures will be mailed to the household upon request.
