A change ending a household's income from a TAFI or AABD grant
during the certification period may affect Food Stamp eligibility. A
household's Food Stamp benefits must not be closed just because of a TAFI or
AABD closure. Food Stamp benefits will be closed only if the change requires
the Department to take action under Section
613 of these rules and the action
would close Food Stamps. If the household appeals and TAFI or AABD is
continued, continue Food Stamps at the same level. If a TAFI or AABD notice is
not required or the household does not appeal, the Department must send a
notice explaining that the household's benefits will end. A notice must be sent
to the household when Food Stamp benefits change because of a TAFI or AABD
change. If TAFI or AABD ends and the household remains Food Stamp eligible, the
Department must advise the household of the work registration requirements.
