Recertification (for all households) is determining continued eligibility based on circumstances anticipated for the certification period.

 

To determine continued eligibility a household must:

• File the recertification application SFN 407 - Recertification for Food Stamps or if a client is also on TANF and/or Medicaid, the Vision Redetermination form.  (If the household completes the SFN 405 - Application for Assistance during the recertification month, it must be accepted in place of the SFN 407).

• Complete an interview and provide required verifications.

 

The date of a recertification application is the date the county receives a signed form. The completed form must be filed in the last month of the current certification period.

 

Example:

If a household's certification period expires at the end of March, the household must file the recertification application for April by March 31.

 

If a recertification application is not filed in the last month of the certification period, the case will automatically go to close in TECS.

 

A worker must approve, suspend, or deny a recertification application
