RECERTIFICATION
QUESTION- Do I have to Re-certify to recieve SNAP(food stamps)?

ANSWER- Yes
ODHS mails notification before renewal is due, which is typically every 12 months, with a Periodic Report due at the mid-way point (6 months). Usually, to continue receiving SNAP benefits, renewal paperwork must be completed. Benefits may be delayed if the paperwork is incomplete or submitted late.

-Households where all adults are elderly or disabled and have NO earned income will receive a 24-month certification with a ‘Periodic Review’ due at the mid-way point (12 months).
-Households where all adults are elderly or disabled with earned income will receive a 12-month certification with a ‘Periodic Review’ due at the mid-way point (6 months).
