340:50-11-25. Proration of food benefits

Revised 6-1-10

     Initial month food benefits are prorated.  The initial month means the first month the household is certified for food benefits following any period of time during which the household was not certified.  If the household's benefits are continuous, the food benefits are not prorated even when there is a change from non-public assistance (non‑PA) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to the Simplified Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SSNAP) or SSNAP to SNAP.
