18 Miss. Code. R. 14-22.10 - Reduction of Public Assistance Benefits
A. If a household's
benefits are reduced because of the failure of a SNAP household member
performing an action under a Federal, State or local means-tested public
assistance program, MDHS will not increase the household allotment as the
result of the decrease in income.
B. The prohibition on increasing SNAP
benefits exists for the duration of the reduction in the assistance
program.
C. If the sanction is
still in place at the end of one year, MDHS must review the case to determine
the appropriateness of a further sanction.
D. MDHS must lift the prohibition on
increasing SNAP benefits if it is determined that the individual has become
ineligible for the assistance program for another reason or the individual's
assistance case is closed.
E. MDHS
must act on changes that are not related to the assistance violation and that
would affect the household's benefits.
