The Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) shares with local districts a commitment to maintain and promote access to the Food Stamp (FS) program for eligible households in New York State. As one means of promoting FS program access, the OTDA encourages you to exempt certain groups from the Automated Finger Imaging System (AFIS) requirements for FS eligibility (see attachment). In order to assist your district in accomplishing this goal, OTDA has simplified the process for amending your AFIS plans.
