State of Wisconsin Release 09-02 June 26, 2009 |
Disaster FoodShare Program (DFSP) policies are used after affected areas have received a Presidential major disaster declaration and the United States Secretary of Agriculture officially declares a FS emergency. DHS will notify the appropriate county/ tribal/ W-2 FoodShare agencies when this happens and work with the local agency to provide DFSP benefits.
The rules for the DFSP are significantly different from the regular FS program. For example, alien status, student status, failure to provide a SSN, work requirements and disqualification status (IPV) from regular FS are irrelevant when determining DFSP benefits. However, committing an IPV in the DFSP WILL count towards disqualification for regular FS.
