I. PURPOSE
A. This letter reminds local districts that a public assistance
(PA) or non-public assistance (NPA) individual who receives
federally participating medical assistance (MA) and who has been
certified by MA as blind or disabled ("SSI-related") meets the
Food Stamp (FS) Program definition of disabled for FS budgeting
purposes, as explained in 91 ADM-15. Additional FS benefits
accrue to individuals who meet this definition of disabled (See
Section III.A.).
B. This letter suggests options districts may use to ensure that
the identity of household individuals determined "disabled", by
MA staff, is communicated to FS staff.
