Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. Effective November 27, 1996, an increase in SNAP benefits is prohibited when a household's benefit from another federal, state or local means-tested assistance program is decreased (reduced, suspended or terminated) due to failure to comply with a requirement of the program that imposed the benefit decrease.

B. The procedures for determining SNAP benefits when there is such a decrease in income are as follows.

1. When a recipient's benefits under a federal, state, or local means-tested program (such as but not limited to SSI or FITAP) is decreased due to noncompliance, SNAP identifies that portion of the decrease which is a penalty.

2. The department calculates the SNAP benefits using the benefit amount which would be issued by that program if a penalty had not decreased the recipient's benefit.
