Did I Qualify?

After your interview, the food stamp office will send you a notice. If you do not qualify for food stamps, the notice will explain why. If you do qualify, the notice will explain how much your food stamp benefit will be. It will also tell you how many months you can get food stamps before you must reapply.

If you think your application has been wrongly denied or that you have not gotten the correct amount of food stamps, you should tell the office. If they do not agree, you must ask them to have your case reviewed by a fair hearing official. For more information about fair hearings, see Your Rights.
