OTDA Issues Corrected GIS on FAP eligibility
January 22, 2004
The GIS informs the districts that an earlier GIS, issued in September of last year, which informed the districts about certain modifications made to the Food Assistance Program (FAP) by the Legislature last Fall, was not correct when it stated that, in order to be eligible for FAP, the immigrant applicant must show that she was legally residing in the US on August 22, 1996. In fact, the statute imposes no such requirement. The statute only requires that the applicant show she was residing in the US on that date, without regard to the immigration status she held then.
