IM-2  01/08/03  ADDING AN ACTIVE INDIVIDUAL TO ANOTHER FAMIS FOOD STAMP
ELIGIBILITY UNIT


SUBJECT:
ADDING AN ACTIVE INDIVIDUAL TO ANOTHER FAMIS FOOD STAMP ELIGIBILITY UNIT
 
DISCUSSION:
Individuals who are active in one food stamp Eligibility Unit (EU) in Legacy or FAMIS and make application in another EU in FAMIS are rejected due to duplicate participation when the controlled flow is completed.  To prevent the rejection of the individual in the new EU, take the following action:
  • Leave the request to add a person in the controlled flow.
  • Complete actions required to remove the individual from the EU in which they are active.  If necessary, contact the county where the individual is active, let that county know the individual has left the EU, and ask them to take action to remove the individual.  Refer to the "Removing A Supercase/Eligibility Unit Member" user guide. 
  • Once the individual is inactive in the original EU, complete the controlled flow for the new EU and authorize the actions.  The first month will be rejected for duplicate participation and the second month will be approved, if eligible. 
Following the procedures outlined above will prevent unnecessary rejection and reapplication actions when an individual moves from one food stamp EU to another.  This includes both moving from one FAMIS EU to another or moving from a Legacy EU to a FAMIS EU.
 
NECESSARY ACTION:
  • Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
  • Implement this policy for FAMIS cases immediately.
