7 CFR § 273.12(a)(2) and (5)(iii)(G)

Traditional SNAP EDGs must report the following changes: 

• When the EDG’s gross income exceeds the gross income limit (130% of the FPL) based on the number of eligible EDG members as of the most recent:
• approval, or
• renewal  
• When an ABAWD’s work hours are less than 80 hours per month (20 hours per week averaged monthly).
• When a household receives lottery or gambling winnings equal to or greater than $4,500. 

ESAP-eligible SNAP households have separate mandatory reporting requirements. 

All EDGs must report these changes by the 10th day of the month following the month the change occurred.  

Changes may be reported:

• by mail, 
• by phone,
• in-person, or
• online through MyAccount.

Reporting other changes may be done at any time, but is not required.  See Change Processing.

EDGs reporting changes through their TFA or SAGA programs have met their SNAP reporting requirements.

Gross Income Reporting Requirements after Exceeding 130% FPL

7 CFR § 273.12(a)(5)(v)

EDGs that report when their gross EDG income exceeds 130% FPL but remain eligible for SNAP have met their 130% gross income reporting requirement.  The EDG does not have to report their income changes again until the next PRF or renewal, whichever occurs first. 

Note:  EDGs with income over 130% FPL at application who are eligible do not have an income reporting requirement until their next PRF or renewal, whichever occurs first. 

Failure to Report

7 CFR § 273.12(d)

File a claim against the household following Overpayments and Claims and Intentional Program Violation policies when the household: 

• fails to report a required change, and 
• received benefits they were not eligible to receive.
