Section 388-416-0005 - How long can I get Basic Food?
(1) The length of time the department determines your assistance unit (AU) is eligible to get Basic Food is called a certification period. The department may certify your AU for up to 12 months, unless:
(a) You receive food assistance under the Washington state combined application project (WASHCAP). We set your WASHCAP certification period as described under WAC 388-492-0090.
(b) You receive food assistance under the elderly simplified application project (ESAP). ESAP households are certified for 36 months.
(c) You receive transitional food assistance (TFA). We set your TFA certification period as described under WAC 388-489-0015.
(2) We terminate your Basic Food benefits before the end of your certification period in subsection (1) of this section if:
(a) You fail to complete a mid-certification review as described under WAC 388-418-0011;
(b) We get proof of a change that makes your AU ineligible; or
(c) We get information that your AU is ineligible and you do not provide needed information to verify your AU's circumstances.
