This code identifies a Snap case with no earnings budgeted for a person who was reported by an employer to the State New Hire Registry.
It also identifies a SNAP member of a TANF case picked up in the National New Hire match for TANF. It does not list as part of the National New Hire for SNAP match.
The code also identifies a case where earnings and/or ending employment has not been documented by either the presence of Item 90 earned income codes or Item 80 651 EE for a person that was reported by an employer to the New Hire Registry. Code N does not appear if an entry of code H was made in Item 52 following the New Hire selection (see WAG 22-14-02).
Casework Action
- If the client responded to the central Form 1721A, budget income appropriately and determine any overpayment.
- If the income is from a child's earnings, it is exempt if the child is age 17 or younger, under the parental control of a SNAP unit member, and attending elementary or secondary school. If the child currently has exempt earned income, enter code 805 on Form 552 (see PM 08-04-01-g).
- Enter the letter N in Item 52 of Form 552 to remove the case from the PAL.
- If the central Form 1721A was sent and the client did not respond, terminate benefits following the directions in WAG 22-14-02.
