IM-84 07/10/03 FOOD STAMP POLICY FOR REMOVING AN INDIVIDUAL
| SUBJECT: |
| FOOD STAMP POLICY FOR REMOVING AN INDIVIDUAL |
| DISCUSSION: |
| Staff requested clarification of the policy
regarding removing an individual from an eligibility unit (EU) if that
individual applied for food stamp benefits on their own. We requested
and received clarification from the Food and Nutrition Service, the federal
agency responsible for administration of the Food Stamp Program, regarding
this issue.
When an individual applies for food stamp benefits and is currently in another EU receiving food stamp benefits, a notice of adverse action must be sent to the original EU removing the individual from the EU. The application of the person who moves out and files a new application does not constitute "a change in writing with all verification attached." |
