| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a Food Assistance program in Colorado, formerly known as Food Stamps. SNAP provides food assistance benefits as part of a federal nutrition program to help low-income households purchase food. The United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) annually evaluates Federal income poverty guidelines and cost of living increases to determine appropriate adjustments to income eligibility standards, benefit allotments, and deductions for the upcoming Federal Fiscal Year (FFY). The modified figures are typically made available to states during the month of August immediately prior to the next fiscal year. The Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) changes in this regulation package are required to become effective 10/01/2021. |

| Comments |
CDHS typically holds 2 public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule. The initial hearing allowing the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule. The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final
adoption of the proposed rule. Emergency rules (ER) are adopted immediately,
and are permanently adopted at a second hearing, usually the month after the
initial hearing. This hearing adopted rule ER anticipated to be adopted permanently on 10/8/2021 through SOS# 2021-00558. Please check here for any updates on location/connection: https://cdhs.colorado.gov/sbhs |
