10.5.4.F Continued Benefits after Case Closure 10.5.4.F.1 Continuation of SNAP after WV WORKS Closure If a WV WORKS AG also certified for SNAP is closed and there is sufficient information, SNAP must continue uninterrupted. A new DFA-2 is not required. The closure notice sent to the client must state that the AG continues to be eligible for SNAP. If the benefit increases or decreases, appropriate notification must be sent. See Chapter 9. 10.5.4.F.2 Continuation of Medicaid Eligibility after WV WORKS Closure Medicaid eligibility does not end automatically when WV WORKS eligibility ends. However, the circumstances that led to ineligibility for WV WORKS may have some bearing on Medicaid eligibility, so the Worker must evaluate continuing Medicaid eligibility based on the new circumstances. 10.5.4.F.3 Ineligibility for SNAP When the WV WORKS client is ineligible for SNAP for any reason, such as excess income, the SNAP AG is closed and the WV WORKS AG, if eligible, remains open. 10.5.4.G Change in the PRC and SSP The Worker is responsible for ensuring, on an ongoing basis, that the participation status of each client is consistent with the terms of his PRC and SSP. Any changes in household circumstances must be evaluated and the PRC and SSP are changed as appropriate.
