Field Ops Memo 2008-65: Changes to Sponsor Deeming Requirements for TAFDC, EAEDC and SNAP (PA or NPA) Households

Due to TAFDC funding changes and the expansion of categorical eligibility, DTA has been able to relax and simplify sponsor deeming regulations.  Effective 12/15/2008,there will no longer be sponsor deeming in the TAFDC Program and SNAP sponsor deeming regulations will be amended. Fewer noncitizens will be subject to sponsor deeming provisions and those subject to deeming will have less sponsor income and assets counted in determining SNAP eligibility and benefit amount.
