When a participant contacts FAA for a referral to participate in SNAP CAN, the participant is considered an appropriate referral. FAA completes the SNAP CAN referral during the participant contact.
NOTE No further information is needed.
See

Clarification: Budgeting Income of a Dependent Child Turning 18
Income of a dependent child is countable for NA in the month following the month they turn 18 regardless of student status. For ongoing cases, AZTECS deauthorizes benefits and generates the alert for the benefit month after the child turns 18 for NA.
