615 BENEFITS: FREQUENCY AND ISSUANCE (FSM)

_____________________________________________________________

The food stamp issuance is determined by the amount of the allotment plus any supplemental benefits due the individual, and minus any overissuance being recovered by DHHS.

Food stamps are issued via Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT). See Part 707 , ISSUING BENEFITS.

• Benefits for ongoing cases not in suspense are credited to the EBT food stamp account once a month, on the 5th of the month.

• Initial allotments are available in the EBT food stamp account at 6:00 AM on the day following the day on which eligibility is determined.

*Suspended food stamp cases are not issued benefits until the case is removed from suspension.*
