Promising Practices - North Dakota

North Dakota – The Department of Social Services developed an on-line eligibility self-screening tool for the Food Stamp Program which has been available since 2000. Go to www.state.nd.us/humanservices  and then click on Financial Help. From the listing of financial programs, click on Food Stamp Program. This website provides information about the Food Stamp Program, with a direct link to the Food Stamp Calculator. The website also contains links to Food Stamp Program-related frequently asked questions, publications, the application for assistance, and list of county social service offices. There are also links to USDA Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services, USDA Nutrition Assistance Programs, USDA Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and Food USA. For more information, contact: Darlene A. Faber, Quality Assurance Coordinator, Food Stamp Program, Department of Human Services, 600 E. Boulevard Ave. Dept. 325, Bismarck ND 58505, 701-328-1832, sofabd@state.nd.us.

North Dakota - Since October 2004, the Department of Social Services has been providing grassroots and community agencies state-wide with Outreach packets containing an application for assistance, civil rights brochures, Food Stamp Program brochure, 10 Steps to Help You Fill Your Grocery Bag through the Food Stamp Program, and several posters from the USDA Food Stamps Make America Stronger series. These posters incorporate the name, address and phone number of the local county social service office. Also included is a sheet describing Food Stamp Program eligibility requirements including asset and income limits, allowable deductions, a sample eligibility test, and a description of how the benefit is calculated. This material is also coordinated with USDA’s ‘white envelope’ titled Documents You Will Need for a Food Stamp Application. For more information, contact: Darlene A. Faber, Quality Assurance Coordinator, Food Stamp Program, Department of Human Services, 600 E. Boulevard Ave. Dept. 325, Bismarck ND 58505, 701-328-1832, sofabd@state.nd.us.
