3-001.10 Household Composition
475 NAC 3-001.10
Before the worker can determine financial eligibility, the household must meet certain criteria, and the worker must determine the number of individuals to be included in the household. The following guidelines apply:
1. Households participating in the program titled, “Food Distribution Program for Households on Indian Reservations” are not eligible to receive food stamps in the same calendar month.
2. Household members may only participate in one household during the month unless the members live in a shelter for battered women and children and were members of the household containing the person who allegedly abused them.
3. Persons who reside in institutions are not included in the same household with persons who do not.
4. Unborns are not considered household members.
5. Persons who live with the household but also maintain separate residence because of work, school, or other reasons are not considered household members if they are apart from the household for a majority of their meals.
6. Persons who receive SSI or State Supplementary payments from California are not eligible for food stamp benefits. SSI and supplementary payments from California have been specifically increased to include the value of the food stamp benefit. Once these individuals begin receiving SSI through Nebraska, they would be eligible for food stamp benefits in Nebraska.
