North Carolina - SNAP noncitizen eligibility changes may affect households at September 2026 recertification
North Carolina DHHS says SNAP noncitizen eligibility rules changed effective February 1, 2026, and affected recipients are reviewed at their next recertification. The agency gives September 2026 as an example recertification month when immigration status would be reviewed, and households may receive notices if someone is no longer eligible; benefit amounts may be adjusted if household composition changes.
