Households required to participate in SAR may appeal any adverse action within 90 days from the action or loss of benefits. (See Supplemental Handbook, Chapter 870.)
7 CFR § 273.15(a)
Benefits will continue until the end of the certification period or until the hearing result if the appeal challenges an action based on noncompliance with SAR requirements and the household claims it submitted a SAR form or a L/IN.
7 CFR § 273.15(k)
NOTE: The household must complete a SAR form for the reporting period in question.
The CAO will not continue benefits if the appeal is based on the requirement to participate in SAR, and the household does not complete the SAR form.
The CAO will change the benefit amount using information provided on the SAR form, except for factors that are the reason for the appeal.
