Are you a veteran? See what restaurants and stores are offering free meals and discounts on Veterans Day, to thank you for your service: http://rangel.house.gov/veterans-resources-guide.shtml- Important Information for SNAP Recipients:
1. Individuals who receive SNAP, will be reimbursed on their EBT card, for 50% of their monthly allotment to help purchase food lost due to the storm.
2. People who receive SNAP that lost more than 50% of their food for the month because of the storm, may be able to get reimbursed for more of their lost food by completing and submitting the form attach...ed to this email. A link to the form is also here: http://foodbanknyc.org/files//See Moredmfile/ LDSS-2291form-updated2.pdf
3. People who receive SNAP will be able to temporarily purchase hot/prepared food from retailers licensed by the Food and Nutrition Service of the USDA, using their SNAP benefits. This is important because SNAP recipients are generally prohibited from purchasing hot/prepared food. However, because of many people left without electricity or ways to cook food, this prohibition will be waived until November 30th.
4. People who lost food but not on food stamps, MAY be eligible for a reimbursement to cover the cost of spoiled food due to power outages from ConEdison. The application for that program is attached and available by following the link here: http://www.coned.com/customercentral/brochures/ Residential_Claim_Form_English. pdf
