This is to remind districts that Food Stamp policy requires that the in-office
interview requirement be waived at the request of an applicant
household if any of the following conditions are met:
1) The household is unable to appoint an authorized representative,
and has no adult household member able to come to the office
because all members are elderly or disabled. For elderly or
disabled definition see FSSB, section V-A-6 all.
2) On a case-by-case basis, for any household unable to appoint an
authorized representative, and has no adult household member able
to get to the office because of:
o transportation difficulties; or
o hardship conditions such as but not limited to, residing in a
rural or remote area, illness, care of a household member,
prolonged severe weather, or work or training hours which
preclude in-office interviews.
NOTE: If the social services district determines that
transportation difficulty or a hardship exists and
waives the in-office interview, the decision must be
documented in the case record.
