10.4.2.A Limited Reporting When approved with a gross non-excluded income at or below 130% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), an AG must report when the total gross non-excluded earned and unearned income of the Income Group (IG) exceeds 130% of the FPL for the number of individuals in the original AG. When approved with a gross non-excluded income above 130% of the FPL, an AG must report when the total gross non-excluded earned and unearned income of the IG exceeds 200% of the FPL for the number of individuals in the original AG. If an AG approved with income at or below 130% of the FPL reports non-excluded income in excess of 130% of the FPL, the AG’s eligibility must be reevaluated. If the AG remains eligible for SNAP, the AG is then required to report when the total gross non-excluded earned and unearned income of the Income Group exceeds 200% of the FPL for the number of individuals in the original AG. If an AG approved with income above 130% of the FPL reports non-excluded income at or below 130% of the FPL, the AG’s eligibility must be reevaluated. If the AG remains eligible for SNAP, the AG is then required to report when the total gross non-excluded earned and unearned income of the Income Group exceeds 130% of the FPL for the number of individuals in the original AG. If the household contains one or more Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs) who are exempt from the ABAWD work requirements, the household must report when an ABAWD loses his exemption or when that person’s work hours are reduced to less than 20 hours a week, averaged monthly. These changes must be reported no later than the 10th calendar day of the month following the month in which the change occurs. An individual in a sole AG or who purchases and prepares with others is required to report if they receive substantial lottery or gaming winnings greater than or equal to the SNAP asset limit for AGs containing an elderly or disabled individual during any one game. This information should always be acted upon by the agency including application, recertification or during the certification period. No other changes are made unless the information is reported by an AG member, comes from a source that is verified upon receipt, or is received from a source that is considered reported. Limited Reporting Example 1: A two-person AG is certified in April with an income below 130% of the FPL. On May 20, one of the AG members begins working full time. When the AG calculates the income received in May, it is still below 130% of the FPL. In the middle of June, the client receives a raise. He
