SNAP and cash assistance annual reviews
SNAP and cash assistance programs are now requiring a yearly recertification form to be completed. If your case is due for review, you will receive the forms in the mail. For additional information about the recertification process, you can view Department of Human Services' notice on helping people navigate public assistance recertifications.
