In anticipation of possible food loss due to the effects of regional flooding and resulting power outages experienced during the past week in several areas of New York State, this GIS message is being issued to 1) reinforce and clarify the temporary assistance and food stamp policies that local districts must have in place to deal with loss of food in emergencies, and 2) Provide local districts with the intranet link to the updated 8/03 version of the LDSS-2291: "Request for Replacement of Food Purchased with Food Stamp Benefits". This form must be used when there is a request for replacement of food purchased with food stamp benefits.
