A new memo has been posted to the Food Stamp Policy Alert page concerning Hurricane Irene and Replacement Food Stamp Benefits. Several attachments are also available including; an outreach flyer, the form needed to request replacement food stamp benefits, and the OTDA policy concerning replacement food stamps.
Due to the possible impact of Hurricane Irene, NYC and upstate communities may experience flooding and/or sustained power outages. Food stamp households that have lost food due to flooding or power outages may be eligible for Replacement Food Stamp Benefits.
There are Nutrition Outreach and Education Program (NOEP) Coordinators in many communities across NYS. NOEP coordinators are available to help potentially eligible individuals and families apply for food stamp benefits.
NOEP coordinators can help families and individuals who may be eligible for Replacement Food Stamp Benefits by:
· Providing the form for households to request Replacement Stamps.
· Helping households complete the form, and
· Answering any questions households may have.
Find out if there is a NOEP coordinator in your community.
If you have any questions about this memo, or any other food-stamp related question, please contact me at (518) 436-8757, ext. 112, or by e-mail Dawn.Secor@HungerSolutionsNY.org
