The purpose of this directive is to inform local districts of a significant reduction in the food stamp overissuance claims inventory that occurred as the result of an agreement between the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA). The agreement targets claims not currently under collection that may either be many years old or are for comparatively small amounts. Districts will be apprised through BICS of claims that are being systemically terminated. Cases affected by this process will be removed from collection status in CAMS but, at districts’ discretion, may be re-established after creating the claim again and providing a new client notice.
