OLGT 2018-20: Cross Programs – Review of the Waiver of Recertification Interviews for Elderly and/or Disabled Households and Updates to Certification Chapters

The SNAP interview requirement at recertification may be waived for households where all adult members are elderly and/or federally certified as disabled with no earned income. This may be applied to households with minor children as long as the previous condition is met. The waiver of the recertification interview is not exclusively reserved for cases of a particular certification type or timeframe and may be applied broadly.  

 

Additionally, interviews are not allowed at Interim Report and must not be scheduled or held. Further updates to the certification chapters were made to bring the department into compliance with regulatory changes via the finalized rules of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008.
