106 CMR 361.540
Scheduling Interviews
The worker shall schedule face-to-face or out-of-office interviews as promptly as possible
to ensure that eligible households are able to obtain SNAP benefits within 30 calendar days
following the date the application is filed. If a household fails to appear for the first interview,
the worker must notify the household that it missed the interview appointment and that it is the
household's responsibility to contact the Department to reschedule the missed interview. The
household may reschedule a missed interview without providing good cause for failing to appear
for the first interview.
