DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
FAMILY SUPPORT DIVISION
P.O. BOX 2320
JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI
TO:
ALL COUNTY OFFICES
FROM:
VALERIE J. DAVIS, ACTING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT:
CLAIMS FOR FOOD STAMP BENEFITS INCLUDING ARRA ALLOTMENT INCREASE

DISCUSSION:

We received clarification from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) regarding calculating Food Stamp claims for overpayments which include the ARRA allotment increase. The changes to the Select Worker Initiated Budget Calculation Area (SELWIBCA) screen in FAMIS described in Memorandum IM-#24 dated April 17, 2009, are no longer necessary.

The current programming in FAMIS for the SELWIBCA screen correctly calculates the overpayment including the ARRA allotment increase.

Continue to process claims for overpayment of Food Stamp benefits using the SELWIBCA screen. For additional information regarding establishing Food Stamp claims refer to CARS user guide REGISTERING A FOOD STAMP CLAIM DISCOVERY AND ESTABLISHING A CLAIM.
