What this notice usually means
Form H1830-R is Texas HHSC's SNAP recertification notice, called the Texas Works Renewal Notice. It comes with Form H1010-R, or with Form H0011-R for some simplified cases. HHSC mails this packet during the first week of the month before your last benefit month. The notice means your SNAP case is up for redetermination. Texas HHSC decides if your SNAP benefits continue after you send back the form and complete an interview.

“Form H1830-R, Texas Works Renewal Notice , is sent to households, along with Form H1010-R, Your Texas Benefits: Renewal Form , or Form H0011-R, Texas Simplified Application Project (TSAP) for SNAP Food Benefits Renewal for redeterminations.”
“Recertification application for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) households in TIERS.”
“SNAP Form H1010-R is sent with Form H1830-R, Texas Works Renewal Notice, the month before the last month of certification.”
“If the household does not contact HHSC by the last business day of the certification period to complete an interview, the redetermination application is denied on the last business day of the certification period using adequate notice.”
What to do now
- 1
Watch for the mailed packet
HHSC mails your renewal packet during the first week of the month before your last benefit month. Check your mail and your Your Texas Benefits account around that time.
- 2
Return the form by the 15th
Return the packet by the 15th of your last benefit month. This keeps your redetermination on time. A later return can still work. But it changes your timeline.
- 3
Know what happens if you're late
You can still send it in later. This works up to 30 days after your certification period ends. After 30 days, HHSC treats it as a new application, not a renewal.
- 4
Contact HHSC to finish your interview
If HHSC does not hear from you by the last business day of your certification period to complete an interview, your case can be denied that same day. Call the number on your notice before that date.

Deadline
Your own notice has your last benefit month. It also has your certification end date. HHSC mails the renewal packet the first week of the month before your last benefit month. Return it by the 15th of that month to stay on time. A later return can still count, up to 30 days after your certification period ends. After that, HHSC treats it as a new application.
“SNAP households are mailed redetermination packets during the first week of the month before their last benefit month.”
“by the 15th of the last benefit month, the redetermination is considered timely.”
“on or after the 16th of the last benefit month through the 30th day after the certification period ends, the redetermination is considered untimely.”
“on or after the 31st day after the certification period ends, the redetermination packet is considered an application and should be screened for expedited benefits if eligible.”

Renewal
Renewal is the process that keeps your Medicaid case active. The agency often checks this first with data it already has. This check is called ex parte. It happens before the agency asks you for anything.
Redetermination
A redetermination is a new check of your Medicaid or SSI case. It works differently for each program. This page covers them separately.
Recertification
Recertification is the SNAP word for applying again. You do this before your food benefits period runs out.
