Interims Versus Renewals
 

I think we should review SNAP like Medicaid, once a year. Make the client responsible to report changes during the year.  Also certifiy homeless households and households with zero income for 6 months.  This makes sense to me and would probably cut down on some of the unreported income situations.  The interim reports should be stopped.  They are time consuming, paper wasting and a postage expense.  The elderly and disabled clients that are on fixed incomes should not have to complete them.  Give them a break.
