Aloha WCC Students,
The HawaiΚ»i Department of Human Services (DHS) is accepting applications for replacement of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits following severe weather, flooding and power outages associated with the recent Kona Low weather event. This assistance is for current SNAP recipients who experienced food loss due to household misfortune, such as extended power outages or flooding.
The request must be submitted within 10 days of the incident.
SNAP replacement benefits allow eligible households to be reimbursed for food, purchased with SNAP benefits, that was destroyed. The replacement amount will be based on the value of food lost, not to exceed the total monthly SNAP benefit issued to the household.
An application form is available on the DHS website at https://humanservic
Or instead of filling out the application, SNAP recipients may submit their own written statement reporting the food that needs to be replaced. In that case, the statement must include:
- The name of the SNAP participant
- An estimate of the value of food destroyed
- A description of what occurred and when
- Contact information for the participant
Application or written statements may be submitted to any DHS Processing Center statewide. Once received, submissions will be reviewed and validated. Approved applicants will receive replacement benefits following the review process.
For more information, contact the nearest DHS Processing Center.
