- Payments in benefits:
- When food stamp paper coupons are used, they must be voided and promptly submitted to the State Food Stamp Office, with a cover letter referencing the following:
- Case Name
- Case Number
- Social Security Number
- Type of claim (administrative error, inadvertent household error, or IPV) and claim number.
- Type and amount of payment.
- If a Food Stamp household elects to make payments on a claim using EBT benefits, a demand for payment notice or other written authorization must be signed by the household. A copy of the demand letter or other written authorization must be sent to the State Food Stamp Office, and EBT personnel make the adjustment.
All collections must be noted administrative, inadvertent, or intentional.
