A single-language minority refers to a household that speaks the same non-English language and does not contain adults fluent in English as a second language. In counties with a seasonal influx of migrant farm laborers, bilingual materials and interpreters must be provided if the number of single-language minority households moving into the county exceeds:
- 100 or more for counties with less than 2,000 SNAP households.
- Five percent for counties with 2,000 or more SNAP households.
Additionally, bilingual materials and interpreters must be provided when:
- Individual counties provide service to approximately 100 single-language minority households.
- Counties with less than 100 low-income households in which a majority of those households consist of a single-language minority.
