____________________________________________________________
A group living arrangement acting as AR must do all of the following:
1. apply on behalf of the resident,
2. buy and prepare food to be consumed by eligible residents communally or individually, or provide food stamps to the resident to purchase food for their own consumption,
3. ensure that each resident’s food stamps are used for meals intended for that resident, and
4. notify the District Office of changes in any household’s income or of other changes affecting eligibility.
A group living arrangement is also responsible for all of the following:
• any program violation which it knowingly commits to obtain food stamps for its residents,
• all losses or misuse of food stamps held on behalf of residents, and for all overissuances which occur while the individuals are residents of the facility,
• providing a monthly list of participating residents and a statement signed by a responsible official of the facility attesting to the accuracy of the list, and
• notifying the District Office within 10 calendar days if a participating resident dies or leaves the facility.
