new manual textRedeterminations (REDEs)

  • IES systematically generates and mails the application, Cash, Medical and SNAP Redetermination Application Notice, to the EDSRP household prior to the end of the 24-month certification period to complete and return for processing. The household should return verifications where it is indicated on the application to attach proof. Whenever possible the FCRC will use electronic sources to help the EDSRP households with the verification process so that eligibility can be determined and benefits can continue without interruption.
  • For EDSRP, an interview is not required at REDE, unless:
    • the EDSRP household requests one; or
    • the household no longer meets the criteria to remain in the demonstration project.
  • The FCRC may contact the household for clarification if the household provides information that is questionable.
