What condition applies when all members of an FNS unit receive Work First Family Assistance?

When all members of a Family Nutrition Services (FNS) unit receive Work First Family Assistance, the unit is considered categorically eligible. This means that the FNS unit meets the eligibility standards for assistance based on the receipt of another form of aid, namely the Work First Family Assistance. This categorically eligible status streamlines the process for these units, as they automatically meet the income and resource eligibility requirements for food assistance without needing to undergo the typical verification procedures.

Categorical eligibility recognizes that individuals receiving certain types of assistance, such as Work First Family Assistance, are likely to face similar economic hardships that warrant food assistance. This allows for a more efficient system in supporting families who are already in need, as they do not have to repeatedly prove their eligibility through additional documentation or assessments.

In contrast, the other options involve situations that would either disqualify the unit, require extra verification, or force more frequent recertification, which does not apply when all members of the unit are already receiving assistance through Work First.
