The purpose of this policy bulletin is to inform staff in Job Centers and Food Stamp Centers that HRA has conducted a mailing to all Public Assistance (PA) and Non-Public Assistance Food Stamp participants (NPA FS) with school-age children, informing them that budget letters are not needed in order to establish eligibility for free school meals. Participants only need to provide the letter received from the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) or their PA or FS case numbers on the Department of Education application.
