In both Food Stamps and AFDC, recipients are required to report changes during their certification/approval period within 10 days of the date the change becomes known to the HH/AG. Changes reported by the client/discovered by the agency between redeterminations of eligibility are subject to the same verification procedures/requirements that apply at the initial determination of eligibility, except that previously verified gross income which has changed by $25 or less, or the source of which has not changed, need not be reverified. Such changes will be taken into account in determining eligibility and amount of benefits and any necessary change in allotment/grant eligibility will be authorized. If the change is a request to add an individual to the aid group, this individual will be treated as an applicant and all eligibility factors for this person will be verified as for any other new applicant.
