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 Service 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 COLA changes in
this regulation package are required to become effective 10/01/2022. Additionally,
recent legislative changes have moved the Office of Appeals operation under the
Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), requiring updates to regulations
to reflect the administrative change. |

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 an ER which is anticipated to be adopted on a permanent basis through SOS#2022-00527. Please check here for
