You can file an application the same day you receive it. We must accept your application if, at a minimum, it contains your name, address, (if you have one), and a signature. This information

If you are eligible, benefits will be provided back to the date you filed your application.
You can apply for and get SNAP for eligible household member(s) even if you or some other members of your household are not eligible for benefits because of immigration status. For
example, ineligible alien parents can apply for SNAP for their children and receive benefits for their eligible children.
You can still apply and be eligible for SNAP even if you have reached your Temporary Assistance time limits.

READ THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW
SNAP PENALTY WARNING Any information you provide in connection with your application for SNAP will be subject to verification by Federal, State and local officials. If any information is
incorrect, you may be denied SNAP. You may be subject to criminal prosecution if you knowingly provide incorrect information which affects eligibility or the amount of benefits. Anyone
who is violating a condition of probation or parole or anyone who is fleeing to avoid prosecution, custody or confinement for a felony, and is actively being pursued by law enforcement, is
not eligible to receive SNAP benefits.
If a SNAP household member is found to have committed an Intentional Program Violation (IPV), the member will not be able to get SNAP benefits for a period of:
12 months for the first SNAP-IPV;
24 months for the second SNAP IPV;
24 months for the first SNAP-IPV, that is based on a court finding that the individual used or received SNAP benefits in a transaction involving the sale of a controlled substance. (Illegal
drugs or certain drugs for which a doctor’s prescription is required.)
120 months if found guilty of making a false statement about who you are or where you live in order to get multiple SNAP benefits simultaneously, unless permanently disqualified for a
third IPV.
Additionally, a court may bar an individual from participation in SNAP for an additional 18 months.
LDSS-4826 DD (Rev. 2/18) Page 6
READ THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW (cont’d)
Permanent disqualification of an individual for:
The first SNAP-IPV based on a court finding of using or receiving SNAP benefits in a transaction involving the sale of firearms, ammunition or explosives.
The first SNAP-IPV based on a court conviction for trafficking SNAP benefits for a combined amount of $500 or more (Trafficking includes the illegal use, transfer, acquisition, alteration
or possession of SNAP authorization cards or access devices.)
The second SNAP-IPV based on a court finding that an individual used or received SNAP benefits in a transaction involving the sale of controlled substances. (Illegal drugs or certain
drugs for which a doctor’s prescription is required.)
All third SNAP-IPV Intentional Program Violations.
Any person convicted of a felony for knowingly using, transferring, acquiring, altering or possessing SNAP authorization cards or access devices may be fined up to $250,000, imprisoned up
to 20 years or both. The individual may also be subject to prosecution under the applicable Federal and State laws.
You may be found ineligible for SNAP or found to have committed an IPV if:
You make a false or misleading statement, or misrepresent, conceal or withhold facts in order to qualify for benefits or receive more benefits; or
Purchase a product with SNAP benefits with the intent of obtaining cash by intentionally discarding the product and returning the container for the deposit amount; or
Commit or attempt to commit an act that constitutes a violation of Federal or State law for the purpose of using, presenting, transferring, acquiring, receiving, possessing or trafficking of
SNAP benefits, authorization cards or reusable documents used as part of the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) system.
Additionally, the following is not allowed and, you may be disqualified from receiving SNAP benefits and/or be subject to penalties for actions that include:
Using or have in your possession EBT cards that do not belong to you, without the card owner’s consent; or
Using SNAP benefits to buy nonfood items, such as alcohol or cigarettes, or to pay for food previously purchased on credit; or
Allowing someone else to use your electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card in exchange for cash, firearms, ammunition, explosives or drugs, or to purchase food for individuals who are not
members of the SNAP household.
If you get more SNAP benefits than you should have (overpayment), you must pay them back. If your case is active, we will take back the amount of the overpayment from future SNAP benefits that you
get. If your case is closed, you may pay back the overpayment through any unused SNAP benefits remaining in your account, or you may pay by cash.
If you have an overpayment that is not paid back, it will be referred for collection, including automated collection by the federal government. Federal benefits (such as Social Security) and tax refunds that
you are entitled to receive may be taken to pay back the overpayment. The debt will also be subject to processing charges.
Any SNAP benefits expunged from your EBT account will be used to reduce current overpayments. If you apply for SNAP again, and have not repaid the amount you owe, your SNAP benefits will be
reduced if you begin to get them again. You will be notified, at that time, of the amount of reduced benefits you will get.
CONSENT I understand that by signing this application form I agree to any investigation made by the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance or my local social services
district to verify or confirm the information I have given or any other investigation made by them in connection with my request for SNAP benefits. If additional information is requested, I will provide
it. I will also cooperate with State and Federal personnel in a SNAP Quality Control Review.
I understand that by signing this application/certification, I consent to an investigation to verify or confirm the information I have given and other investigation by any authorized government agency
in connection with Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) benefits. I also consent to allow the information provided on this application to be used in referrals to available weatherization
assistance programs and my utility company’s low income programs. I understand that the State will use my Social Security Number to verify with my home energy vendors the receipt of HEAP.
This authorization also includes permission for any of my home energy vendors (including my utility) to release certain statistical information, including but not limited to, my annual electricity
usage, electricity cost, fuel consumption, fuel type, annual fuel cost and payment history to the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance and the local Social Services District and the United
States Department of Health and Human Services for the purposes of Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) performance measurement.
CONSENT FOR RELEASE OF CONFIDENTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE (UI) INFORMATION I authorize the New York State Department of Labor (DOL) to release any confidential
information, maintained by DOL for Unemployment Insurance (UI) purposes, to the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA). This information includes UI benefit
claims and wage records. I understand that OTDA, along with State and local agency employees working in local social services district offices, will use the UI information for establishing or
verifying eligibility for, and the amount of SNAP applied for in this application and for investigations to determine whether I received benefits to which I was not entitled.
LDSS-4826 DD (Rev. 2/18) Page 7
READ THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW (cont’d)
RELEASE OF INFORMATION TO SERVICE PROVIDERS - I give permission to the social services district and New York State to share information regarding Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program benefits that I or any member of my household for whom I can legally give authorization have received, for purposes of verifying my eligibility for services and payment related to program
administration provided by a State or local contractor. Such services may include, but are not limited to, job placement or training services provided to help me or my household members obtain
and retain employment.
SUA (STANDARD UTILITY ALLOWANCE) INFORMATION I understand that SNAP recipients are categorically income eligible for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). If I have not
received a HEAP benefit of greater than $20 in the current month or previous 12 months, or other similar energy assistance program benefits, I must pay separately for a heating, air conditioning
or utility expense in order to receive a Standard Utility Allowance.
CHANGES I agree to inform the agency promptly of any change in my needs, income, property, living arrangement, able-bodied adult without dependents (ABAWD) status including if my hours
of work fall below 80 hours per month, pregnancy status or address to the best of my knowledge or belief in accordance with my reporting requirements.
REQUIREMENT TO REPORT/VERIFY HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES I understand that my household must report child care and utility expenses in order to get a SNAP deduction for these
expenses. I further understand that my household must report and verify rent/mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, medical expenses and child support paid to a non-household member
in order to get a SNAP deduction for these expenses. I understand that failure to report/verify the above expenses will be seen as a statement by my household that I/we do not want to receive a
deduction for those unreported/unverified expenses. A deduction for these expenses may make me eligible for SNAP or may increase my SNAP benefits. I understand that I may report/verify
these expenses at any time in the future. This deduction would then be applied to the calculation of SNAP in future months in accordance with the rules for change reporting and processing
changes.
In applying for SNAP, I understand that the social services district will request and use information available through the Income and Eligibility Verification System to investigate my application, and
may verify this information through collateral contacts if discrepancies are found. I also understand that such information may affect my eligibility for SNAP and/or level of SNAP benefits I receive.
PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT COLLECTION AND USE OF SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (SSN) The collection of SSN’s is authorized for each household member with respect to SNAP
pursuant to the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. The information we collect will be used to determine whether your household is eligible or continues to be eligible for assistance or benefits. We will
verify this information through computer matching programs. This information will also be used to monitor compliance with program regulations and for program management. This information
may be disclosed to other State and Federal agencies for official examination and to law enforcement officials for the purpose of apprehending persons fleeing to avoid the law. The information
will be used to check identity and to verify earned and unearned income.
If a SNAP claim arises against your household, the information on this application, including all SSN’s, may be referred to Federal and State agencies, as well as private claims collection agencies,
for claims collection action. Anyone applying for SNAP must provide a SSN. SSN’s of ineligible members will also be used and disclosed in the manner above. If you or anyone
applying/recertifying does not have a SSN, a SSN must be applied for with the Social Security Administration (SSA.gov).
Besides using the information, you give us in this way, the State also uses the information to prepare statistics about all the people receiving benefits from the Home Energy Assistance Program.
The information is used for quality control by the State to make sure local districts are doing the best job they can. It is used to verify who your energy supplier is and to make certain payments to
such vendors.
CITIZENSHIP/IMMIGRATION STATUS I swear and/or affirm under penalty of perjury that the information I have provided about the citizenship and immigration status of myself and everyone
living with me is true and correct. I understand that any information I provide to verify the immigration status of anyone applying for SNAP may be checked for authenticity with the United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services.
For SNAP, citizenship must be documented only if questionable.
