Field Op 2003-04 : Elimination of the State Food Stamp Program (SSFSP) for Immigrants

Budget shortfalls caused the Department to implement a funding reduction for the SSFSP in May 2002. Since then, eligible SSFSP participants received full benefits for July 2002, and partial benefits for August 2002. Because the Department has depleted all funding for the current fiscal year, the Department must formally shut down the Program. This Field Operations Memo gives AU Managers procedures for processing noncitizen applicants and recipients impacted by the elimination of this Program.
