As noted in OLGT Notice of Proposed Settlement in Glynn vs. Amy Kershawas Commissioner of the MA DTA (2023-47), the Department and Massachusetts Law Reform Institute (MLRI) have reached a settlement. The Department has agreed to send a notice to certain class members whose SNAP was terminated following a residency re-verification request triggered by out-of-state transaction data, who were Change Reporting households at the time of the termination, and who did not get SNAP after the termination. This Transmittal is intended to inform all staff of the notice being sent to this group. A future Transmittal will address details of a one-time supplement that the Department will issue to certain class members whose SNAP benefits were terminated because they did not reverify Massachusetts residency due to continuous out of state EBT usage.
