This section provides procedures for developing recipient allegations about the receipt of benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (Formerly Known as Food Stamps) during an RZ interview.

Open a “REDETERMINATION with or without RECAPs” event creates a MSSICS “path” which guides the interviewer to the appropriate screens to document allegations and evidence relating to SNAP, as necessary.

Question 13 — This question is divided into three parts:

• •

  “Are you currently receiving food stamps? If YES, go on to question 12. If NO, go on to part “b.” ”

• •

  “Have you filed a food stamp application within the past 60 days on which you have not received a decision?”If YES go on to question 12. If NO, go on to part “c.”

• •

  “Do you want to apply for food stamps?”

Question 25 — Is the same as question 13 on the SSA-8202-BK.

Follow procedures in SI 01801.010 to screen individuals for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility or application status.
