Section 10 CCR 2506-1-4.603 - HOUSEHOLD RESPONSIBILITY TO REPORT CHANGES
Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 17, September 10, 2024
A. Households shall report all changes related to their SNAP eligibility and benefits at the certification interview, including any changes that occurred between the date an application is submitted and the date of the interview. If a change is reported in an initial month and the application has not yet been processed, the local office shall act on the most current information.
B. Households are required to report all changes in household circumstances when filing a recertification and periodic report.
C. Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWD), as defined in Section 4.100, that do not meet an exemption, as outlined in Section 4.310.3, are required to report any changes in work hours that bring the individual below twenty (20) hours per week, averaged monthly.
D. Households who have no gross income threshold or who are eligible to be certified with a gross income level of up to two hundred percent (200%) of the federal poverty level, as applicable to the household size, who are initially certified with income above one hundred thirty percent (130%) FPL shall not be required to report increases in the household's combined gross income during the certification period.
E. Households who have no gross income threshold or who are eligible to be certified with a gross income level of up to two hundred percent (200%) of the FPL, as applicable to the household size, who are initially certified with income below 130% FPL are required to report when the household's combined gross income exceeds one hundred thirty percent (130%) FPL applicable to the household size. After the household reports its first increase in income above one hundred thirty percent (130%) FPL, the household shall not be required to report further increases in the household's combined gross income for the remainder of the certification period.
F. When a household submits a recertification or periodic report form and an interview is not conducted because one has been completed in the previous twelve month period, any changes that occur after the recertification or periodic report form was submitted are not required to be reported unless the change causes the household to exceed one hundred thirty percent (130%) FPL applicable to the household size. If an interview is scheduled with the household, then the household is required to report any changes that occur between the time the household submitted the recertification application or periodic report form and the date of the interview.
G. Upon benefit approval at initial application, recertification and periodic change report, the household shall be provided with a notice of the gross income level that applies to its household size.
H. All applicant and ongoing SNAP households are responsible to report whenever a member of the SNAP household wins substantial lottery or gambling winnings.
