Section III-1913 - Determination of Eligibility of Migrant or Seasonal FarmworkersA. Two provisions of the Drought Relief Act changed SNAP's procedures pertaining to the determination of eligibility and benefit levels for migrant or seasonal farmworkers. This is effective for applications received as of September 1, 1988 or allotments issued for the month of September, 1988. 1. Proration of Initial Month's Benefits. The first provision affects the proration of benefits after a break in participation in SNAP. This provision requires that migrant and seasonal farmworkers receive the full allotment for a month of application when the household has participated in the program within 30 days prior to the date of application. Thus, unless the household's break in participation exceeds 30 days, the migrant or seasonal farm worker household is eligible for a full month's allotment, rather than a prorated allotment, in the month of application.2. Income Exclusion for Emergency PA or GA Assistance Payments. The second provision provides an income exclusion for any emergency PA or GA assistance payment which is provided to a third party on behalf of the migrant or seasonal farmworker household (i.e., vendor payments) while the household is in the job stream. This assistance may include, but is not limited to emergency vendor payments for housing or transportation.La. Admin. Code tit. 67, § III-1913
