The Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) law and regulations (7 U.S.C.
2020(s), 7 CFR 273.26 through 273.32) provide state
agencies the option to offer transition SNAP benefits
(TBA) to households leaving the Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF) program. Transitional
benefits ensure that such households can continue to
meet their nutritional needs as they make the
transition from welfare to work. Transitional benefits
guarantee families a set benefit amount and eliminate
reporting requirements during the transition period.
Benefits can be continued for up to five months in an
amount equal to the amount received by the household
prior to TANF termination with adjustments for the loss
of TANF income. TBA households shall be given a five
month certification period. [Eff
