A household is not allowed to participate simultaneously in SNAP and the Food Distribution Program (Tribal Commodities). To prevent dual participation, the State Office sends a monthly list of SNAP households to the Food Distribution Program. The local agencies administering the Food Distribution Program are required to submit monthly lists of recipients to counties on or near reservations.

 

An individual disqualified from participation in SNAP due to an IPV or court conviction of fraud (DF) may not participate in the Food Distribution Program until the period of disqualification expires. Counties must notify the Food Distribution Program in writing of SNAP disqualified individuals, along with the dates of disqualification.

 

Individuals disqualified from participation in SNAP for a reason other than IPV or a court conviction of fraud may be eligible to participate in the Food Distribution Program.

 

An individual disqualified from participation in the Food Distribution Program for an IPV may not participate in SNAP until the disqualification period expires.
