Haw. Code R. § 17-680-30 - Household responsibility to report changes
(a)
Households not subject to simplified reporting shall be required to report
changes as specified in section 17-650-26.
(b) Households subject to simplified
reporting shall report changes as specified in sections 17-650-14 and
17-650-18.
(c) An applying
household shall report all changes related to its food stamp eligibility and
benefits at the certification interview. Changes, as provided in subsections
(a) or (b), which occur after the interview but before the date of the notice
of eligibility, shall be reported by the household as follows:
(1) On the six month report form for those
subject to simplified reporting; or
(2) Within ten days of the date of the change
for simplified reporting households required to report other changes as
specified in section 17-650-18; or
(3) Within ten days of the date of the change
for change reporting households as specified in section 17-650-27.
If the change is reported to the department prior to the disposition of the application, the department shall act upon the change in accordance with the procedures as stipulated in section 17-647-33(d).
(d) For change
reporting households, changes may be reported in person, by telephone, or by
mail. The department shall document the date a change is reported, which is the
date the department receives the change report form or is advised of the change
over the telephone or by a personal visit.
(e) If the department discovers that a
household failed to report a change as required and received benefits for which
it was not entitled, a claim for the benefits for which it was not entitled
shall be filed against the household by the department. If the discovery is
made within the certification period, the household shall be entitled to the
following notice requirements if benefits are reduced:
(1) Change reporting households shall be
entitled to timely and adequate notice; and
(2) Simplified reporting households shall be
entitled to:
(A) An adequate notice if the
change in circumstances was discovered within the simplified reporting system;
or
(B) Timely and adequate notice
if the change in circumstances was discovered outside of the simplified
reporting system.
(f) Individuals shall not be disqualified for
failing to report a change without a determination of intentional program
violation. However, an individual shall be disqualified in accordance with the
intentional program violation disqualification under chapter 17-604.1 when
found guilty of intentional program violation. A household shall not be held
liable for a claim because of a change in household circumstances which it is
not required to report under subsections (a) or (b).
(g) Reporting requirements other than those
in subsections (a) and (b) shall not be imposed upon the household.
(1) A change report form shall be provided to
newly certified households not subject to simplified reporting at the time of
certification and at recertification if the household needs a new form. A new
form shall be sent to the household whenever a change report form is returned
by the household.
(2) Although a
household not subject to simplified reporting shall be encouraged to complete
and return the change form when a change is being reported, changes reported
over the telephone or in person by the household shall be acted upon in the
same manner as those reported on the change report form.
(3) Households subject to simplified
reporting shall be provided with a six month report form no later than six
months from the end of the household's certification period.
