2011 Food Stamp Prescreening Guide Now Available

The October 2011 version of "FOOD STAMPS IN NYS: An Elgibility Prescreening Guide" is now available on our website. This year's web version includes new tools for navigating the document and many links to additional resources.

This guide is designed for community based organizations, advocates and volunteers who are working with low-income families. The guide will help you determine if a family/individual may be eligible to recieve food stamp benefits. It is a great tool for those helping families/individuals in applying for the Food Stamp Program. The guide also provides detailed information on how to calculate an estimated food stamp benefit allotment for a family/individual.

Due to financial restraints we cannot provide printed copies of this guide, as we have in past years.

For questions concerning information in the guide please contact Dawn Secor, Food Stamp Specialist at dawn.secor@hungersolutionsny.org or by calling 518-436-8757 x 112.
