Shawn was homeless during his Snap Intake interview in 04/2024. Snap benefits were authorized as a work registrant. He calls into the agency on 5/30/2024 to report that a family member passed away and left the house to him, so he now has residence. He moved in yesterday. What is the next step and when would it take effect?
Since Shawn reported a change in his exemption status he has to be rescreened. The worker that took the phone call for the change screens Shawn over the phone and it is determined that he meets no exemptions. Since his change took place in May, he is ABAWD required for June.
