Field Op 2004-15: DTA/DMR Food Stamp Outreach Inititative

In our continued effort to increase food stamp participation and reduce barriers to access, the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) and the Department of Mental Retardation (DMR) have met over the past several months to identify obstacles DMR clients face in accessing food stamp benefits. A simplified process has been developed to remove those barriers and increase participation among this population.
