The proof needed for SNAP.

Did you know? SNAP applicants and recipients must now provide verification of shelter costs and utility responsibility. Applicants and recipients must provide proof of these costs at application and at renewal if they are not already on file with PA DHS. SNAP households will need to submit new documentation if they move to a different residence.

Previously, SNAP recipients only needed to report their shelter costs and utility responsibility to the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services but did not need to provide supporting documentation.

Not providing shelter/utility cost verifications will not cause benefits to close or an application to be rejected. However, SNAP households that do not provide verification of shelter and utility costs will have their SNAP benefits evaluated without the shelter and utility deductions. This could result in a decrease in SNAP benefits.

A majority of Leahy Life Plan clients fit this profile. Academics and grades do not always determine if they will be able to be self sustaining after high school and college. Many IEPs and other documents show strengths and don't highlight the level of supports to achieve their success therefore getting 18-25yr olds denied many time for government benefits and supports.

Helping this specific population is what Leahy Life Plan www.leahylifeplan.com does

A new lawsuit contends that Edmonds School District discriminated against a special education student by granting her a regular high school diploma.

Medicaid is what covers Waivers and other In Home medical and non medical support. You may have the Home and Community Based Waivers (in PA - Consolidated, Community Living Waiver, CHC) but if there is no staffing to support your in home needs it means a nothing. It's crucial to support Direct Support Professionals with competitive pay.

After Congress approved roughly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade, California advocates are worried about the future of home-based care covered by Medi-Cal.
