TRANSMITTAL NUMBER:   2011-02

 

MANUAL:   Alaska Food Stamp Program

 

DATE:   February 1, 2011

 

As a result of feedback from the field, we have made a few changes to the Food Stamp manual to further clarify when staff should verify shelter deductions.  As always, we appreciate your input and strive to improve our manuals and policies to help those in the field.

We have also updated caseworker responsibilities for the E&T program to remove reference to the E&T 4 form and include new notices, F001 and X081.

 

Other changes are either technical in nature or clarifications that are the result of policy questions or suggestions from the field.

 

Highlights of these and other policy revisions are described below.  If you have any questions please contact the Policy and Program Development Team at 465-3382 or e-mail dpapolicy@alaska.gov.
