Common Pitfalls for Elderly or Disabled Clients in SNAP

Wednesday August 26, 2026 3:45pm - 4:45pm PDT

Embassy Suites- Cambridge B

Older adults and people with disabilities face heightened risk of SNAP benefit loss due to complex rules, reporting requirements, and recent statutory changes. This session will examine common SNAP pitfalls affecting these populations and review the practical effects of recent statutory changes under H.R. 1—including the expansion of the ABAWD three-month time limit to individuals ages 18–64—and their implications for elderly and disabled households. This session will also provide practical guidance on identifying and accurately calculating the SNAP medical expense deduction, addressing frequent agency errors, and effectively advocating to maximize benefits for eligible clients.
