interview on September 10. Because he filed a redetermination by mail, but missed a scheduled interview, the Worker sends a notice to inform the client he is responsible for scheduling another interview. At adverse notice deadline, if the client has not completed the interview, a closure notice is sent. Scheduling an Interview Example 2: Same situation as above, but the client does not file a redetermination or appear for an interview. No notice is required for a missed interview because a redetermination was not submitted, but a closure notice is sent. All SNAP AGs must receive a notice of expiration of the certification period. For cases certified for more than one month, the notice must be received in the month prior to the last month of certification. The local office has the following options in scheduling redetermination interviews: • Schedule an interview by sending an appointment letter to each AG to be redetermined. The appointment may be scheduled anytime during the last month of certification. However, if the client's appointment is scheduled after the 15th, he may request and must be granted an appointment for the 15th or earlier. The client must be given 15 days from the date of the appointment letter before any penalties are applied for failure to keep the appointment. • Redeterminations for pure SSI AGs may be initiated by SSA staff and completed by the Worker. The AG is notified of this service by form ES-RT-3. See Special Considerations below. 1.4.18.D.1 Aligning SNAP, TANF and MAGI Medicaid/CHIP Review Dates The following information will be needed for MAGI Medicaid and WVCHIP only during the SNAP Redetermination interview. The household’s tax filing status will need to be updated. Verification procedures found in Section 7.2 must be followed to approve or deny MAGI Medicaid and WVCHIP. MAGI Medicaid and WVCHIP must also have their period of eligibility renewed to align with TANF redeterminations. • If the CSLE/CSLR is not completed and returned by the end of the certification period, benefits are stopped. Notice of closure is required, but advance notice is not required.
