It is important to note that specific requirements and procedures may vary depending on the city and state in which you are located.
Filing for Recertification
When a SNAP beneficiary does not comply with the recertification process, his or her benefits are suspended once the period of validity that corresponds to his or her case is completed. In this case, we recommend submitting a recertification, also known as «intermediate certification,» at least 15 days before the deadline. This will ensure that the beneficiary will continue to enjoy his or her benefits until the next certification period arrives.
The steps to follow to complete a SNAP recertification process are as follows:
- Complete a SNAP application form. This form may vary depending on the state where the beneficiary resides. For that reason, it is advisable to call the number listed in the booklet that accompanies the EBT card. This number may also appear on the back of the EBT card.
- Send it to the mailing address of the appropriate state agency. It is recommended that it be mailed at least 15 days before the deadline for proper processing.
Some agencies may also allow you to do it online, through their official website. Another modality available may be postal mail. However, the most advisable thing to do before carrying out this process is to go to the office closest to you to find out what their specific rules are in this regard.
