Entering SNAP Household Composition Data

AU Composition Q and A Navigator

This page asks a standard set of program-specific questions using radio buttons to record a Yes or No answer for each question/HH Member combination. Question(s) that are not applicable to a specific program’s eligibility are grayed out.

For example, if an applicant is applying for TAFDC only, the SNAP Parental Control and EAEDC Unrelated Child radio buttons will be grayed out, preventing you from asking the questions.

The answers to the questions in the Q and A Navigator open other pages in the interview that require you to enter data. After completing this page, visit those sections to view and revise the recorded answers. The page is only available to complete an application, a reapplication, a reevaluation, and to add a person to the household.

If you answer Yes to a question, the corresponding Client Selection Member popup page is launched and only members affected by a Yes answer will be displayed. Select the household member for whom the Yes answer applies and continue to the next question.

The process of answering the questions and selecting the appropriate household member causes additional pages to require completion and you can open and enter data in those pages at a later time.

When you exit the AU Composition Q and A Navigator, it cannot be accessed again. All reedits or updates must be done on the specific page within the AU Composition Details workflow.
