OLGT 2023-77: Cross Program: P-EBT Returned Mail and the Discontinuation of Expungement Restoration for P-EBT Benefits

BEACON enhancements have been made to include returned mail for P-EBT
related notices that are returned to the Department for DTA and Non-DTA
clients. These households will not be sent a Returned Mail Notice (RMN), as
they are not required to report any changes to the Department for P-EBT
purposes. However, an enhancement has been made to update the client’s
Electronic Case Folder (ECF) or P-EBT case record with a Batch narrative.
The returned mail envelope will be attached.
Due to the end of the Public Health Emergency (PHE) on May 11, 2023, the
Department stopped the automatic restoration of expunged P-EBT benefits
for homeless children (DTA and Non-DTA recipients) on September 30,
2023. The restoration functionality relative to P-EBT benefits has been
disabled in BEACON.
