PM 18-04-07: Increasing SNAP Due to Adding a New Member

WAG 18-04-07

When a person is added to the SNAP household, increase benefits as follows:

• For a new member not included in another SNAP household for the calendar month of report, add the new member for the entire calendar month of report.
• For a new member included in another SNAP household (including those who received benefits from another state) for the calendar month of report, add the new member for the payment month that they are deleted from the former SNAP household.

See WAG 25-07-12 to add a new member to the SNAP household.

Note: See PM 02-07-01, PM 03-02-03-d on National Accuracy Clearinghouse data match with other states to prevent duplicate SNAP assistance.
