PM 17-01-03: Changing the Benefit Request

WAG 17-01-03.

If while an application is pending, a:

• cash applicant becomes ineligible for cash, determine eligibility for medical; or
• medical applicant becomes potentially eligible for cash, determine eligibility for cash; or
• cash or medical and SNAP applicant does not qualify for cash or medical, continue the SNAP application as SNAP Only.

Except for certain medical applications, do not make the applicant file a new application. Decide their eligibility based on the original application.

See WAG 17-01-03-a for what to do when someone applies for cash and medical and they do not qualify for cash. See WAG 17-01-03-b for what to do when someone requests medical, and before eligibility is determined they request cash.
