Revision 13-4; Effective October 1, 2013

All Programs except TP 40 and Children's Medicaid

Step If ... then...
1. management is questionable at initial application, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families/Medical Programs (TANF/MP) complete redetermination, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) redetermination,
  • verify whether the household's basic billed expenses are paid or delinquent, and
  • go to Step 2.
  a recent change causes questionable management,
  • TANF/MP – Set a special review.
  • SNAP (SR) – Take no action.
  • NPA-SNAP (Non-SR) – Shorten the certification period as specified in B-635.
2. verification shows basic billed expenses are paid,
  • go to Step 3.
  verification shows basic billed expenses are past due,
  • see A-1731.
  the household does not return verification,
  • TANF/MP – Deny the household.
  • SNAP – Deny the household.
3. management is negative for three months or more,
  • explore management as described in A-1720. Verify how the household made the payment (vendor payments, in-kind, cash contributions, or unreported income).
  If management is negative and the household provides proof that the household paid billed expenses with non-recurring assistance,
  • consider management questionable and follow policy in A-1731.
  If management is negative and the household fails to provide available verification of the income or resources used to meet their expenses,
  • TANF/MP – Deny the household at application, complete, or incomplete redetermination.
  • SNAP – Deny the household only at application or redetermination.
  management is negative for less than three months,
