The purpose of this GIS message is to reiterate a Temporary Assistance policy regarding the use of the "Financial Statement" (LDSS-3596) and to provide updated information on the Food/Non-Food Expenses used on the LDSS-3596. This Office calculates the Food/Non-Food Expenses using the annual release of the Food Stamps Program's Thrifty Food Plan. This year, a second release is required to meet the changes to the Thrifty Food Plan (effective April 1, 2009) included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
