Finally, several commenters requested that FNS amend current rules at section
273.2(j)(2)(vii)(F) which prohibit States from denying categorically eligible households
when they are eligible for no food stamp benefit. One commenter noted that as a result of
the Department's July 1999 guidance on categorical eligibility, significantly more
households are likely to be categorically eligible but eligible for no food stamp benefit
due to their income. To require States to certify such households for zero benefits would
be administratively burdensome and could discourage States from adopting expansive
categorical eligibility policies. The commenter recommended that the regulations should
be revised to give States the same option to treat categorically eligible households that are
eligible for zero benefits in the same manner as they treat households that are not
categorically eligible: where a household's net income exceeds the level at which benefits
are provided, States should be allowed to choose between denying the application or
certifying the case but suspending benefits.
We agree with the commenters that allowing States to deny categorically eligible
households when they are eligible for no food stamp benefit would alleviate
administrative burdens on States and eliminate a potential barrier to States adopting more
expansive categorical eligibility policies. Therefore we are amending current rules at
section 273.2(j)(2)(vii)(F) to make this change.
