As a part of the demonstration project waiver agreement with USDA under which NYSNIP operates, all NYSNIP participants that have reached the midway point of their certification period are required to return or otherwise respond (see the note below) to a 24 Month Interim Report (LDSS-4836 or 4836 NYC). Failure to return or otherwise respond to this interim contact will result in the food stamp case being closed. In May, 2006, OTDA will begin sending a NYSNIP 24 Month Interim Contact to upstate NYSNIP households with 26 months left in their food stamp certification period. This mailing requires participants to either authenticate existing shelter and utility information or to report, and verify if necessary, changes in shelter and/or utility information.
