PM 02-08-02-b: Timeframes

WAG 02-08-02-b

The first day of the processing timeframe is usually the work day following the date of application. There are 2 times when this is not true:

• When a SNAP application is received from an SSA office, the first day of the expedited timeframe is the calendar day after the day the application is received in the Family Community Resource Center.
• When a resident of a public institution applies for SSI and SNAP before their release, the first day of the expedited timeframe is the calendar day after the date of release.

For SNAP households that are eligible for expedited service in the month of application, make sure expedited SNAP benefits are available to the household no later than close of business on the 5th calendar day after:

• their application date; or
• the date you become aware of it.

For SNAP households that are ineligible for benefits (not due to proration) in the month of application, but are eligible and qualify for expedited service for the following month, make sure benefits are available to the household no later than the close of business on the 5th calendar day after;

• their application date; or
• the 1st working day of the 2nd month, whichever is later.
