The purpose of this GIS is to inform local DSS workers that the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) has begun the printing and mailing of reminder letters to New York State Nutrition Improvement Project (NYSNIP) participants who had food stamp cases opened for them automatically as part of the recently completed phased mass openings. The reminder letters will be sent only to those participants who, thus far, have failed to use any of the food stamp benefits that have been authorized for them. The letters remind the NYSNIP participants of the availability of their food stamp benefits and the need to redeem at least some of the benefits soon in order to continue to receive the benefits and not have their NYSNIP food stamp case closed.
