SNAP office not responding back to my request I have put in writing.
Q) Would someone call me back concerning problems I am having with my local SNAP office. Not responding back to my request I have put in writing which I had faxed, hand delivered and mailed to that office on June 03, 2019.
Requesting why my monthly benefits were reduced from $194.00 down to $37.00. I also spoke to someone in that office on the phone and they said they could tell me only verbal, not in writing, this is why I put this request in writing myself.
How can I dispute or ask for a fair hearing if I do not know the why’s?
This way I could get help to get the information to rectify this problem and dispute it the proper way.

A) James if you cannot reach your local social service/Food Stamp office by phone you may want to consider visiting the office and discuss your benefit change with a counselor.
If you are suffering from a lack of adequate food and nutrition you are entitled to apply for food stamp or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Your age does not matter. If you’re under the age of 18 and living with your family, then your family has the right to apply for food stamps if the household income falls below the program poverty wage limit.
