OLGT 2023-25: SNAP: Reminder on How to Process Earned Income at COVID-19 Recertification

Staff are reminded to continue to follow the streamlined COVID-19 Recertification procedures outlined in OLGT 2021-58. As a reminder, although COVID-19 recertification households are otherwise recertified using IR procedures, these households must verify earned income at recertification if a member has earnings, even if the earned income amount has not changed. This means that earned income must be reverified at every recertification.

When processing a COVID-19 recertification, you must carefully review the recertification form and the ECF (and if applicable, the Work Number) to determine whether the client reported earned income or has earned income on record; in either case, earned income verification is mandatory.
