SSA Updates SNAP Screening for New York SSI Applicants

The Social Security Administration (SSA) updated program policy instructions on July 31, 2026, impacting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) screening for New York residents.

Technicians assisting Supplemental Security Income (SSI) applicants or recipients in New York are now instructed to discontinue asking Combined Application Project (CAP) data screening questions on the SNAP page within the Consolidated Claims Experience (CCE).

This change streamlines the application process for eligible New York residents.
