requirements listed in 1.4.17.C.3). The family’s net income must then be calculated to determine if they are eligible for an issuance. Categorical Eligibility Example 4: Four individuals who purchase and prepare together apply for SNAP. One of the individuals is ineligible due to an IPV disqualification. The AG cannot be categorically eligible, so must meet all SNAP requirements to be eligible, including being within the gross income, net income and asset limits. Categorical Eligibility Example 5: A mother, father and three children apply for SNAP benefits. The father is an non-qualified non-citizen. If the SNAP AG’s total gross income (including the amount deemed by the ineligible father) is equal to or less than 200% FPL, the AG can be determined categorically eligible. Categorical Eligibility Example 6: An individual who purchases and prepares with other members of a SNAP AG is an ineligible student who has a felony conviction for drug possession, which had an element of misuse of SNAP benefits, or loss of life or the causing of bodily injury. The individual’s status as a student has no effect on categorical eligibility. However, the felony offense for possession of a controlled substance with any of the three elements listed in Section 1.4.17.C.2 prevents the AG from being categorically eligible. 1.4.18 APPLICATION/REDETERMINATION VARIATIONS Redetermination procedures are the same as application procedures except in the following situations. 1.4.18.A Redetermination Forms The following methods can be used for redetermination: • System generated redetermination forms (CSLE or CSLR) • WV PATH • DFA-2 and DFA-RR-1 • DFA-SNAP-1 The eligibility system automatically mails the CSLE/CSLR in the month prior to the last month of certification.
