For Mid-Certification Renewals (MCR) that are submitted and complete must be processed before or on the deadline for Processing Actions Requiring Advance Notice (Negative Deadline) of the current month. At times the MCR is submitted past the deadline or submitted without verification. For MCR’s that are completed after the deadline, refer to article FACS: Reopening SNAP after MCR Closure.
There may be a scenario in which an MCR is processed after the deadline and the income verification that is submitted results in the income determination being over the income guidelines for SNAP for the household. This means that the MCR that is closed will have to remain closed.
If the MCR is already closed and will remain closed; the closure reason must be explained to the customer. Please also remind them to notify the agency if their circumstances change and that they may always re-apply.
Generate appropriate notice ABCDMS-37 Client Notice of Action if the customer needs it for other agencies.
