Revision 24-3; Effective July 1, 2024
SNAP
Streamlined reporting minimizes the information that households must report during the certification period to maintain their benefit level and eligibility. Households are subject to streamlined reporting criteria as follows.
SR 1 Households
Households with reported income below 130 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) are designated as SR 1 and are subject to streamlined reporting criteria.
SR 2 Households
Households with reported income above the 130 percent FPL but below 165 percent of the FPL are designated as SR 2 and are subject to streamlined reporting criteria.
SR 3 Households
Households that do not meet the streamlined reporting criteria are designated as SR 3 and are not subject to streamlined reporting criteria. These households:
- are aware at application or redetermination of a change that will make them ineligible within the next six months. Note: Do not consider an anticipated change in household composition or residency as a known change until it actually occurs;
- contain at least one non-exempt ABAWD who is not meeting the ABAWD work requirement; or
- are certified for four months or less.
At application and recertification, use the following table to determine the household’s SR designation.
| Step | Question | If yes, | If no, |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Is the household aware of a change that will make them ineligible for SNAP in the next six months? | designate the household as SR 3. | continue to step 2. |
| 2 | Does the household contain at least one non-exempt ABAWD who is not meeting the work requirement? | designate the household as SR 3. | continue to step 3. |
| 3 | Will the household be assigned a certification period of four months or less? | designate the household as SR 3. | continue to step 4. |
| 4 | Does the household have income below 130 percent of the FPL? | designate the household as SR 1. | designate the household as SR 2. |
The household retains its SR designation throughout the certification period. Do not remove the SR designation at incomplete reviews. For example, when a household designated as SR 1 or SR 2 reports a change where an ABAWD household member no longer meets the ABAWD work requirement, the household remains as SR 1 or SR 2 through the end of the certification period. Designate the household as SR 3 at their next redetermination.

SNAP
Advisors must extend SR policy to households containing disqualified members. In a household containing all elderly and/or members with a disability, the household can meet the SR criteria, even if the disqualified member is the only person with earnings.
Advisors do not consider a disqualified member an ABAWD for purposes of determining SR status, even if the member is disqualified due to exhausting the individual's SNAP ABAWD time limits. Advisors consider only eligible household members for this purpose.
