Arkansas Department of Human Services
Application for SNAP and TEA
(Food Assistance and Cash Assistance)
See if you qualify for SNAP and TEA online! Apply online at www.access.arkansas.gov!
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income people buy the food
they need for good health.
SNAP benefits supplement an individual’s or a family’s income to help
buy nutritious food. Most households must spend some of their own money along with their SNAP
benefits to buy the food they need.
Y
ou may be able to receive
SNAP benefits if you are working for low wages; working part-time; unemployed;
receiving public assistance payments; living with a disability; are older; or homeless. All participants must meet
financial and non-financial criteria.
T
he Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA) Program helps economically needy families
with children under the age of 18 become more responsible for their own support and less
dependent on public assistance. TEA provides monthly cash assistance to eligible families to help
meet the family's basic needs. TEA also provides supportive services such as child care
assistance and employment related services while the parent or other adult relative works toward
increasing his or her earning potential. State law limits the receipt of TEA benefits to 24 month
lifetime limit.
Y
ou can have some income, including earnings, and still be eligible to receive TEA benefits, if your countable
income is less than the income standard. You can have resources (cash, bank accounts, property not used as a
home, etc.) if the total value of these resources does not exceed $3,000. TEA cash assistance is also available to
help meet the needs of children who are being cared for by non-parent adult relatives. Assistance to such
relatives may be provided for the children without regard to the time limit.
When should I apply?
It is important to turn in your application right away. If your household is eligible, your first month of SNAP
benefits will be paid from the day that your application was received online or the date you submit a paper
application in the DHS County Office. The TEA effective date of payment is the first day of the month your
application is approved.
You have the right to submit a SNAP application with only the applicant's name, address, and the
signature of a responsible household member or the household's authorized representative. However, providing a
complete application may result in a quicker eligibility determination.

Wrap-2 (Rev. 8/2017)
Interview requirements for both SNAP and TEA:
Households applying for SNAP and TEA are required to complete an interview for their eligibility
determination. This interview can be in-person or over-the-phone. Households that apply online
at www.access.arkansas.gov
are automatically offered a telephone interview. Only one interview
is necessary when applying for both SNAP and TEA. If you miss your appointment for an
interview, we will not schedule another appointment unless you ask us to do so.
Your household may choose someone who knows about your circumstances to complete the interview either in-
person or over-the-phone. This person is called an “authorized representative”.
Helpful documents for SNAP and TEA:
A Social Security Number (SSN) or proof of application for an SSN for each household
member applying for benefits.
Documentation of legal alien status for each non-citizen applying for benefits.
Proof of identity for the applicant.
Proof of residence.
Proof of all income.
Proof of the value of resources such as, but not limited to, bank accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks,
bonds,
and vehicles.
Proof of medical expenses for household members over the age of 60 or living with a disability, only if you
want these expenses to be claimed.
Proof of current utility bills, only if you want to use your actual utility costs to calculate your SNAP benefit
amount. NOTE: SNAP allows certain households to use autility standard.” Ask your worker if actual
costs or the utility standard will be best for your household.
If you are applying for TEA benefits for a child, proof of that child's age and proof of that child's relationship
to you.
A Drug Assessment Questionnaire (DAQ) must be completed for each adult household member applying
for TEA benefits.
How long does it take to process an application?
Most SNAP applications must be processed within 30 days. However, we must
process your SNAP application within seven days (expedited service) if:
Your household has $100 or less in cash, bank accounts, or other liquid
resources and
less than $150 in countable income; OR
Your current shelter costs are more than your income and liquid resources; OR
You are a migrant or seasonal farm worker and your household has little or no income at the time you
apply.
TEA applications should be processed within 30 days.
If y
ou complete the screening questions in the SNAP Expedited Service section, we will determine if your
household is entitled to expedited service in SNAP.
How will I know if my application has been approved or denied?
When we take action on your application for SNAP or TEA, we will send you a notice to tell you if your application
has been approved or denied.
If I am eligible, how will I get my benefits?
If you participate in the SNAP and/or the TEA Program, you will receive an electronic benefits
transfer (EBT) card that looks similar to a debit card. Your EBT card will be used to access your
Wrap-3 (Rev. 9/2017)
SNAP and/or TEA benefits. SNAP benefits may only be accessed at authorized retailers, such as grocery stores
and approved farmers’ markets.
What are my appeal rights?
If you are not satisfied with our actions or if we fail to act on your application for SNAP or TEA, you or your
representative may ask for a hearing. There are three ways that you or your representative can request a
hearing.
1. Y
ou may request a hearing by following the instructions listed on the back of the Notice of Action form y

Intentional Program Violations
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
People who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program must follow these rules:
Do not give false information or withhold information in order to get or to continue to get SNAP benefits.
Do not alter any authorization document to get SNAP benefits you are not eligible to receive.
Do not use SNAP benefits to buy non-food items like alcoholic drinks, tobacco, or personal grooming items.
Do not trade or sell SNAP benefits or allow unauthorized use of electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards.
Do not use someone else’s SNAP EBT card for your household’s benefit.
Do not buy or sell or attempt to buy or sell SNAP benefits or Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards for cash or for
consideration other than eligible foods in public and online. Buying and selling or attempting to buy or sell your EBT
card is called trafficking and may cause you to lose your benefits or be taken off the program permanently (forever).
An intentional program violation (IPV) occurs when you or any member of your household: 1) Makes a false or
misleading statement or misrepresents, conceals or withholds facts; or 2) Commits any act that constitutes a
violation of the Food and Nutrition Act, SNAP Regulations, or State Statute for the purpose of using, presenting,
transferring, acquiring, receiving, possessing, or trafficking of SNAP authorization cards, or reusable documents
used as part of an automated benefit delivery system. Anyone found to have committed an IPV will be
disqualified from SNAP participation for: one year for the first violation, two years for the second violation, and
permanently for the third violation. He or she may also be fined or imprisoned or both, and may be subject to
federal prosecution and penalties.
S
pecial disqualification periods apply when an individual is found guilty of any of the following violations:
M
aking a fraudulent statement or representation about identity or residence in order to get SNAP benefits in
two locations during the same month a ten-year disqualification.
Buying or selling controlled substances in exchange for
SNAP benefits a 24 month disqualification for the
f
irst violation and a permanent disqualification for the second violation.
Buying or selling firearms, ammunition, or explosives in exchange for
SNAP benefits a permanent
disqualification.
Trafficking SNAP benefits in excess of $500 a permanent disqualification.
Intentional Program Violations
TEA Program
People who participate in TEA must follow these rules:
If you give any information that is false or misleading or if you withhold or conceal facts for the purpose of
establishing or maintaining your family's eligibility for TEA, you may be found guilty of committing an intentional
program violation (IPV) by an Administrative Hearing or through a court of law.
If you plead guilty or nolo contendere (no contest) or are found guilty of an IPV, your family will be ineligible for
TEA for one year for the first offense, two years for the second offense and permanently for any subsequent
offense. In addition, your family will remain ineligible to receive TEA benefits until the resulting overpayment is
repaid to the State.
I
f you are found guilty of giving false information about your residence in order to receive TANF assistance in two
or more states at the same time, your family will be ineligible for TEA assistance for a minimum of ten years
beginning with the date of conviction. (The TEA Program is Arkansas' TANF Program.)

following programs?

Your Right to Privacy
The PRIVACY ACT of 1974 requires the Department of Human Services (DHS) to tell you: (1) whether disclosure is voluntary
or mandatory; (2) how DHS will use your SSN; and, (3) the law or regulation that allows DHS to ask you for the SSN. We are
authorized to collect from your household certain information including the social security number (SSN) of each eligible
household member. For the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program this authority is granted under the Food and
Nutrition Act of 2008 as amended, 7 U.S.C. 2001-2036. For both the Medicaid Program and the TEA Program, this authority
is granted under Federal laws codified at 42 U.S.C. §§ 1320b-7(a)(1) and 1320b-7(b)(2). This information may be verified
through computer matching programs. We will use this information to determine program eligibility, to monitor compliance
with program rules, and for program management. This information may be disclosed to other Federal and State agencies
and to law enforcement officials. If claim arises against your household, the information on this application, including all
SSNs, may be provided to Federal or State officials or to private agencies for collection purposes.

In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its
Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating
based on race, color, national origin, sex, religious creed, disability, age, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity
in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA.
Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape,
American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard
of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program
information may be made available in languages other than English.
To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027) found online at:
http://www.ascr.usda.gov/complaint_filing_cust.html, and at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter
all of the information requested in the form. To request a copy of the complaint form, call (866) 632-9992. Submit your completed form or
letter to USDA by:
(1) mail: U.S. Department of Agriculture
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights
1400 Independence Avenue, SW
Washington, D.C. 20250-9410;
(2) fax: (202) 690-7442; or
(3) email: program.intake@usda.gov.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
Providing a Social Security Number and/or information about citizenship or immigration status is voluntary. However, anyone who fails or
refuses to provide any of this information will not be eligible to receive SNAP and/or TEA benefits. Other household members who do
provide this information may participate in SNAP and/or TEA, if the household is found to be eligible.
If you are age 18 or over or 49 or under and get SNAP benefits you must also meet the Requirement To Work or the RTW rule unless
exempt from the RTW or Work Registration. The RTW rule only applies to Able Bodied Adults without Dependents or ABAWDs who
are 18 or over or 49 or under. If the work requirements of this rule are not met, then an ABAWD can only receive SNAP benefits for 3
months out of a 3-year period. However, if work requirements are met, benefits may continue. Your caseworker can provide more
information.
You can continue to receive SNAP benefits as long as you are eligible under Program rules. This is true even if someone in your home
receives TEA/Works Pays cash assistance. If someone in your home does receive TEA/Works Pays cash assistance, participation in
SNAP will not count against their TEA/Works Pays time limits.
Providing Information - You must declare Social Security Numbers for everyone who will receive benefits. Bringing items such as your
most recent paycheck stubs, award letters, and bank statements to your interview may speed up the application process. During the
interview, the DHS worker will tell you if you must provide any additional information.
