SNAP (Food Stamp) replacement for food lost in storms

Posted: July 9, 2012

Hundreds of thousands of West Virginians lost some or all of their perishable food due to power outages from the massive June 29^th storm. Those relying on SNAP benefits now have until July 30^th to request replacement benefits to replace their spoiled or otherwise destroyed food. All they need to do is call or go to their local DHHR office to make a request. They will also need to sign and fax, e-mail or deliver in-person the "Request for Replacement of Food Stamp Coupons or Food Purchased With Food Stamp Benefits" Form.

DHHR is also allowing replacement WIC (Women Infants and Children) food benefits.
