DISCUSSION:

Effective 11/01/2024 and in accordance with federal guidance, the SNAP Manual and eligibility system are updated to reflect that an interview must be completed within 6 days of the application date for the agency to provide expedited service.

If a required interview is not completed within 6 days of the application date, then expedited service cannot be provided within the expedited service timeframe and the normal 30-day processing timeframes will be followed. The eligibility system has been updated to follow and track this process.

The FA-110 Expedited Service Notice has also been updated.

 

NECESSARY ACTION:

  • Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
