Flooding and Replacement Food Stamp Benefits

Due to the recent rain storms many upstate areas are experiencing flooding. Food stamp households that have lost food due to flooding may be eligible for Replacement Food Stamp Benefits. If your county was affected by flooding please help get the word out about Replacement Food Stamps.

We have posted a new memo describing the criteria and process for current food stamp households, who have experienced food spoilage due to a “household misfortune”, to obtain replacement food stamp benefits.

This memo also includes:

• Replacement Food Stamp Benefits Flyer



• OTDA Form 2291 Request for Replacement of Food Purchased with Food Stamp Benefits
