Cite as Haw. Code R. § 17-663-88
(a) When the department makes an overall adjustment to
financial assistance payments, corresponding
adjustments in the households' SNAP benefits shall be
handled as a mass change. When the department has at
least thirty days advance knowledge of the amount of
the financial assistance adjustment, the department
shall recompute SNAP benefits to be effective in the
same month as the financial assistance change. If the
department has less than thirty days advance knowledge,
the SNAP change shall be effective no later than the
month following the month in which the financial
assistance change was made.
(b) A notice of adverse action shall not be
required when a household's SNAP benefits are reduced
or terminated as a result of a mass change in the
financial assistance grant. The department shall send
individual notices to households to inform the
households of the change. If a household requests a
hearing, benefits shall be continued at the former
level only if the issue being appealed is that of SNAP
eligibility or that benefits were improperly computed.
