N.M. Admin. Code § 8.100.180.12 - FOOD STAMP EXCEPTIONS
Adverse action notices are not required under the following conditions.
A. Mass changes: The state
initiates a mass change.
B. Death:
The ISS determines, based on reliable information, that all members of a
household have died.
C. Move from
project area: The ISS determines, based on reliable information, that the
household has moved from the project area, or will move before the next FS
issue.
D. Completion of restoration
of lost benefits: The client has been receiving an increased allotment to
restore benefits, the restoration is complete, and the client has been
previously notified in writing when the increased allotment would
end.
E. Anticipated changes in
monthly benefit amount: A household's allotment varies from month to month
within the certification period to take into account changes which are
anticipated at the time of certification, and the household was notified at the
time of certification of the allotment variations.
F. Benefit reduction upon approval of
household's FA application: The household jointly applied for FA and FS
benefits, and has been receiving food stamps pending the approval of the FA
grant, and was notified at the time of certification that FS benefits would be
reduced upon approval of the FA grant.
G. Household member disqualified for
intentional program violation: The benefits of the remaining household members
are reduced or terminated to reflect the disqualification of a household
member.
H. Benefits contingent upon
providing postponed verification: The ISS has assigned a normal certification
period to a household certified on an expedited basis, for whom verification
was postponed, and the household was given a written notice that the receipt of
benefits beyond the month of application was contingent upon its providing the
required verification.
I.
Conversion: Converting a household from cash or FS benefit recovery to
recoupment (benefit reduction) because of failure to make agreed-upon
repayment.
J. Loss of certification
by drug or alcoholic treatment center or group living arrangement.: The ISS
terminates the eligibility of a resident of a drug or alcoholic treatment
center or a group living arrangement because the facility loses either its
certification from the New Mexico health department or other appropriate state
agency, or has its status as an authorized representative suspended because FCS
has disqualified it as a retailer.
K. Transfer between FSP and food distribution
programs: If a local office is notified by the appropriate Indian tribal
organization (ITO) that a participating household wishes to switch programs,
the ISS:
(1) advises the ITO of the earliest
date that program transfer may occur without risk of dual
participation;
(2) closes the FS
case without advance notice; and
(3) follows up with the appropriate
ITO-provided form.
