Description
Mayors Administration Settles SNAP Application Delays: New Safeguards Ensured for Timely ProcessingThe Mayors administration has reached a court settlement to address SNAP application processing delays, following a class-action lawsuit. The agreement requires new safeguards, guaranteeing a thirty-day window for legitimate claims. This extends to cash assistance applications, addressing historically slow processing times. Emily Lundgren, an attorney involved, emphasizes that this settlement holds the city accountable, ensuring families can access life-sustaining support without unnecessary red tape. The city must enforce strict wait time limits, offer in-person interviews, provide same-day callback options, and modernize online application platforms. This settlement follows years of processing struggles, aiming to create a more reliable and efficient system for distributing federally funded, locally processed benefits.
