Note that the income of an alien that was ineligible under the Food Stamp Act prior to the recent legislation must be counted in whole or in part and that all of the resources of such alien must be counted. For now States should develop their own plans for coordination. This may be addressed in the regulations. For example, a court suit required FNS to monitor 5-day expedited service. In the case of expedited service, the new standard of 7 days was effective upon enactment for new applicants and that will be the standard on which States will be monitored.
Court orders based on provisions in the law that have subsequently been amended are no longer valid.
