To prevent an increase in Food Stamp benefits, penalties will be applied to a Food Stamp case for failure to comply with a requirement of another means-tested program such as TAFI. When a Food Stamp recipient fails to comply with a requirement of the TAFI program, count that portion of the benefit decrease attributed to the TAFI penalty. Conditions for ending the penalty are listed in Subsections 277.01 through 277.03 of this rule. (3-17-22)
01. Time-Limited TAFI Penalty. If the TAFI penalty is time-limited, end the FS penalty when the TAFI penalty is ended. (3-17-22)
02. Lifetime TAFI Penalty. If the TAFI penalty is a lifetime penalty, apply the FS penalty for a length of time to match the remaining months of TAFI eligibility for the household. End the FS penalty if the household subsequently reapplies for TAFI and is denied for a reason other than the noncompliance that caused the TAFI penalty. (3-17-22)
03. Member Who Caused the TAFI Penalty Leaves the Household. End the FS penalty when the member who caused the TAFI penalty leaves the household. (3-17-22)
