Description

Food stamp program; excessive requests for replacement of electronic benefit transfer card. Requires the Department of Social Services (Department) to monitor all requests for replacement of electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards issued to food stamp program recipients. The bill provides that a request for replacement of an EBT card shall be deemed excessive if a food stamp program recipient or a member of his household has made four such requests within 12 months prior to the request. The bill requires the Department, upon receipt of a fourth request for replacement of an EBT card within a 12-month period, to give written notice to the recipient household that it has reached the threshold allowance for replacement requests, its account is being monitored for suspicious activity, and future replacement requests will require contact with the Department to provide an explanation before a replacement card will be issued. The bill requires the Department, upon receipt of a fifth replacement request within a 12-month period, to give written notice to the recipient household that it has exceeded the threshold allowance for replacement requests and that the replacement EBT card is being withheld until the household contacts the Department to provide an explanation for the high volume of replacement requests. The bill provides the terms under which a replacement card will be issued or withheld, delineates factors that require the Department to investigate excessive card replacement requests, and sets forth requirements for notices sent under the provisions of the bill.

Del. Jackson Miller (R-Manassas): EASEMENTS AND DETERMINE IF THEY DO NOT AFFECT THE BUYER'S INTENDED USE AS WELL AS DETERMINING RESTRICTIONS ON THE PROPERTY. AS A RESULT OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT DISTRICT. I MOVE THE HOUSE ENGROSS THE WILL AND PASS IT TO THIRD READING.

[Unknown]: HOUSE BILL 2100 CHARGES FOR COPIES.

Del. Jackson Miller (R-Manassas): THE GENTLEMAN FROM FAIRFAX, MR. KEEN.

[Unknown]: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, HOUSE BILL 2111 IS AN EXAMPLE HOW THE STATE GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOUND IT'S WAY TO BE MORE FRIEND TO THE PUBLIC. FIRST, WHEN YOU FILE ELECTRONIC APPLICATIONS AND THERE IS A FEE, SOMETIMES THERE IS A THIRD PARTY FEE PROCESSOR THAT ADDS 2% TO 3%. AND THEY MIGHT JUST MAIL A CHECK IN. THE COMMISSION WOULD BE GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO WAVE THAT FEE SO THEY'D ENCOURAGE MORE FILING. SECOND PART WOULD PROVIDE COPIES OF DOCUMENTS SO THAT BUSINESS FOR EXTRA FRIENDS IN THAT. TURNING TO PAGE 17 OF THE PRINTED CALENDAR, HOUSE BILL 2325. A BILL TO AMEND AND REENACT RELATED APPLICATION FOR A CONCEALED HANDGUN PERMIT. YES, SIR, MR. SPEAKER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE,
