2020-68: SNAP: Application and Recertification Interview Waiver

Under the Continuing Resolution Bill that was recently passed, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has renewed the waiver of the SNAP application and recertification interviews when all mandatory verifications are satisfied. This waiver is applicable through June 31, 2021.

System enhancements to support the interview wavier will be reinstated as well as additional enhancements to streamline the application workflow similar to that of the COVID-19 recertification workflow.

The purpose of this Transmittal is to advise staff that eligible SNAP application and recertification interviews are waived, and that temporary procedural modifications have been placed on the expedited issuance process.
