Family Community Resource Center Caused Delay - Case File Incomplete
(FCRC) When an SNAP application remains pending, complete and send the proper pages of the Form 360 series and include Form 360J. The "Pending SNAP Benefits" section of Form 360J informs the FS unit:
- of any action(s) the SNAP unit must take to complete the application process; and
- that the application will be denied if the SNAP unit does not take the needed actions within 60 calendar days from the application date.
When the case file is complete, take action to approve or deny the SNAP application as quickly as possible.
If the SNAP unit is determined eligible:
- issue benefits for the fiscal month of application; and
- issue benefits for the 2nd fiscal month, if eligible.
See PM 23-01-02 and WAG 23-01-02-b for replacement of past month's benefits.
