PM 19-07-03: Removal From Mid-Point Reporting Status

WAG 19-07-03

IES will remove a case from Mid-Point Reporting status when:

  • A Cash or AABD case reports a change and they no longer meet the requirements for Mid-Point Reporting. Leave the case in Mid-Point Reporting status until the next scheduled REDE. If the client has no budgetable earnings at the next REDE, IES will approve the case in Change Reporting status.
  • A SNAP only case includes a member who has to meet the SNAP Work Requirement Time-Limited Benefits policy in a county of residence that is no longer waived. Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) waiver approval allows the entire State to continue to be exempt from the SNAP Work Requirement Time-Limited Benefits policy through revised manual text10/31/2025 based on Illinois' high unemployment rate.

A Mid-Point Reporting (MPR) SNAP household is a regular roll:

  • TANF case (with or without) SNAP and there is earned income to budget on the case; or
  •  Any case with SNAP benefits except for the following is in Change Reporting:
    • SNAP cases where all the adults in the SNAP household are qualifying members and there is no earned income to budget on the case; or.
    • When a SNAP household has a member subject to SNAP Work Requirement Time-Limited Benefits when the policy is in effect, IES converts the case to Change Reporting.
      • Note: Effective 07/01/2022, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) waiver approval allows the entire State to continue to be exempt from the SNAP Work Requirement Time-Limited Benefits policy through revised manual material10/31/2025 based on Illinois' high unemployment rate. The SNAP Work Requirement Time-Limited Benefits policy is NOT in effect for any county in the State deleted text or
    • TANF cases with SNAP and there is no earned income to budget on the case.
