10 CCR 2506-1-4.210 - PERIODIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

A. A household consisting solely of members who are persons with a disability and/or members who are aged sixty (60) years and older with no earned income can be certified for twenty-four (24) months. For households certified for twenty-four months, no interview during the certification period shall be required. Households with a twenty-four (24) month certification period are required to report changes at the twelve (12) month interim reporting period.

B. A PRF shall be mailed to the household during the eleventh (11th) month of the certification period for the household to report all changes. If the PRF is not submitted to the local office by the fifth (5th) day of the twelfth (12th) month of the certification period, a reminder notice shall be sent advising the household that it has ten (10) calendar days plus one (1) calendar day for mailing to return the completed report. Households participating in ACP shall be afforded five (5) days mailing time. If the household has not submitted the completed form by the extended due date on the reminder notice, the SNAP case shall be terminated effective the first day of the thirteenth (13th) month and a termination letter shall be mailed to the household. If the household submits a PRF or reports changes for any other PA program within thirty (30) calendar days following the effective date of the termination notice and provides all required verification, benefits shall be issued without proration from the beginning of the thirteenth (13th) month.

C. The local office must act on all changes reported by those households filing a PRF. If the household files a complete PRF that results in a reduction or termination of benefits, the agency shall send an adequate notice. The adequate notice must be mailed at least two (2) business days prior to the date that benefits are normally received by the household. If the household fails to provide sufficient information or verification regarding a deductible expense, the county local office shall not terminate the household but shall instead determine the household's benefits without allowing the deduction.

D. The household shall report changes in circumstances to the following items on the periodic report:

1. A change of more than $100 in the amount of unearned income.

2. A change in the source of income, including starting a job.

3. All changes in household composition, such as the addition or loss of a household member.

4. Changes in home address and any resulting changes in shelter costs.

5. Acquisition of a licensed vehicle that is not fully excludable.

6. A change in liquid resources, such as cash, stocks, bonds, and bank accounts that reach or exceed the resource limits for elderly or disabled households and for all other households, unless these assets are excluded.

7. Changes in the legal obligation to pay child support.

8. Whenever a member of the household wins substantial lottery or gambling winnings.

E. If allowable medical expenses are reported and verified, the change should be acted upon for the remainder of the certification period but only if the change results in an increase in benefits.
