ACIN I-54-09: Food Stamp Q&As (8/18/09)

A potpourri of questions, including collection of UI’s against excluded household members (ok, but not if excluded because of SSI); not being allowed to do a tax intercept when the FS allotment is being reduced to collect OIs; noncitizens immediately eligible for FS without a waiting period; treatment of Foster Care transitional housing funds; exclusion and budgeting of Vet’s education income, replacement and separate household status, and more. Further notes that eligibility for expedited FS is based on prospective income – if that income is less than need for rent/utilities, the person is eligible for ES-FS – averaged income is only used to determine amount of benefits.
