OLGT 2022-24: SNAP: Expunging of SNAP Benefits Due to Account Inactivity

Effective mid-May 2022, when a client’s SNAP benefit account has not been accessed at all for a total of 274 days, the SNAP benefits issued 274 or more days prior will be permanently purged from the client’s EBT account.

The Department will send a notice that includes the date benefits will be expunged and what the household must do to prevent the expungement. This notice will be mailed no later than 30 days before the date of expungement.

Households that are due to have SNAP benefits expunged in mid-May will be sent the notice the evening of April 14, 2022.
