The purpose of this GIS is to re-iterate and remind local districts of the federally-mandated policy described in 88 INF-50 and in Section 10.3.b (See NOTE on page 221) of the Food Stamp Source Book (FSSB). 88 INF-50 describes the policy and procedures for calculating and issuing restored food stamp benefits to FS applicant/recipient households when a member of the household has been determined by the Social Security Administration to be retroactively eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
Please note that this policy only affects FS applicant/recipient households that, prior to this determination of SSI eligibility, did not have any aged/disabled household members, and therefore were not entitled to receive either the excess medical deduction or the uncapped excess shelter expense to which households having any aged/disabled members are entitled.
