6.1.1 Change Reporting for All Food Units (Simplified)

7 CFR 273.12(5)

All food units are only required to report if their total received monthly gross income exceeds 130% of the FPL (8.1.1) for their reported food unit size determined at the most recently completed certification. This change must be reported by the 10th of the month following the month in which the total received income exceeded 130% of the FPL.

ABAWDs subject to simplified reporting must report by the 10th of the month following a month in which their work hours fall below 80 hours per month.

Note: Anticipated receipt of income and/or work hours is not required to be reported, even if the anticipated income is expected to put the food unit over the 130% FPL. A reported change in income can only be used in the budget after it is received.

If a food unit has reported total income exceeding 130% of the FPL for their food unit size, and the food unit remains open for FoodShare due to broad-based categorical eligibility, the food unit has fulfilled their change reporting requirement for the remainder of the FoodShare certification period.

However, if any change is reported or becomes known to the agency, it must be acted upon.

See 5.1.1 for change reporting requirements for Transitional FoodShare (TFS) members.
