Subject: Income from State Employees for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
How do we treat state employee income now that a “bridge” budget has been passed?
Response By: Division of Federal Programs and Program Management
Date:08/06/09
With the signing of the bridge budget, wages for July and August will be released in August for most state employees. SNAP households having a state employee must have eligibility re-evaluated using anticipated August wages.
For households with a state employee whose SNAP benefits were open in July or August, the household’s eligibility must be redetermined using anticipated income from August and September wages. Action must be taken timely to reduce SNAP benefits effective September 1, 2009 or stop SNAP benefits effective August 31, 2009 using appropriate advance notice.
For households with a state employee that applied for SNAP benefits in August that have not been processed, income from August wages must be anticipated for August benefits.
Employees of agencies whose funding requires special appropriation will not have their wages released with the signing of the bridge budget. These agencies include, but are not limited to:
· Pennsylvania Public School Employees’ Retirement System
· Pennsylvania State Employees’ Retirement System
· Public Utility Commission
· Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board
When reviewing cases for households with a state employee, ask whether the employee’s wages will be released due to the signing of the bridge budget. If the employee’s wages will not be released because they require special appropriation, do not consider the employee to be receiving or have anticipated wages.
