ALTHOUGH THE CHILD SUPPORT INCOME FOR TWO CHILDREN IN COLLEGE WAS COUNTED AS PART OF THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME, THE TWO COLLEGE STUDENTS WERE PROPERLY NOT COUNTED FOR FOOD STAMP ELIGIBILITY, THE DENIAL OF FOOD STAMPS WAS PROPER (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the Commissioner of the NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance properly interpreted the food stamp regulations. Petitioner’s application to continue her Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) (food stamp) benefits was denied. Petitioner had five children, two in college. The two college students were not counted as part of the household for SNAP purposes but the child support income petitioner received for the two college students was counted. So petitioner’s income was deemed too high for food stamp eligibility:

Pursuant to 7 CFR 273.7(a)(1), “[a]s a condition of eligibility for SNAP benefits, each household member not exempt under paragraph (b)(1) of this section must comply with the following SNAP work requirements,” including registering for work. According to 7 CFR 273.7(b)(1)(viii), students enrolled at least half time in institutions of higher education are only exempt if they meet “the student eligibility requirements listed in” 7 CFR 273.5(b), which includes students under 18, students with special needs, students in work study programs, or students employed for a minimum of 20 hours per week.

Similarly, 18 NYCRR 387.16(d) provides for the inclusion of income from nonhousehold members who have been disqualified for an intentional program violation, ineligible alien status, failure to attest to citizenship or alien status, or failure to comply with a food stamp work registration or work requirement as provided in 18 NYCRR 385.3. Under 18 NYCRR 385.3 and 18 NYCRR 387.1(jj), such students are not exempt from work requirements, and are not eligible for food stamps. Pursuant to 18 NYCRR 387.16(d) their income has to be included in household income.

The college students were not employed a minimum of 20 hours per week or otherwise eligible for an exemption. Accordingly, their income was properly included in household income. Matter of Leggio v Devine, 2018 NY Slip Op 01312, Second Dept 2-28-18
