Important Food Stamp Notice for adults with no children
Some people who have been denied Food Supplement benefits (formerly known as Food Stamps) are now eligible. If their Food
Supplement benefits were closed or denied because they did not meet the minimum work rules for an able-bodied adult without
dependents (ABAWD), they are now eligible.
ABAWD individuals are usually limited to three months of Food Supplement benefits in a three year period.
However, due to changes in Federal Law from the President's economic stimulus plan, ABAWDs can continue to get help from the
Food Supplement Program without meeting the work rules as long as they meet the other program rules.
You can apply for Food Supplement benefits at your
local DHHS office or print an application and mail it or take it
into your
nearest DHHS office.
