Can IEDSS have more than one SNAP or TANF Assistance Group per case?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only for TANF
• D. Only for SNAP

Answer: (B)

The correct answer is that IEDSS cannot have more than one SNAP or TANF Assistance Group per case. This is because each case is designed to manage the benefits and needs of a single household or assistance unit in a streamlined manner. The purpose of having a single assistance group is to ensure that the assessment of eligibility, benefits, and any determinations or adjustments can be consistently applied to the entire household without complications or inconsistencies that could arise from multiple assistance groups. This policy allows for clearer communication, easier management of benefit distributions, and a more cohesive understanding of a household's financial needs and resources. It simplifies the tracking of benefits and helps prevent errors that could occur if multiple groups were managed under one case, as each group would have its own eligibility criteria and requirements. Options suggesting that it can have multiple assistance groups, either for specific programs or in general, would imply a more complex and potentially confusing system that is not in line with the streamlined approach that IEDSS aims to maintain for efficiency and clarity in administering assistance programs.
