A client is eligible for expedited food stamps. How long will it take to access their benefits?
If a client is eligible for expedite benefits and the client is not known to the system, and the case is approved prior to the noon processing batch, the vendor will request a card be created. The card will be sent THAT day by an expedited express delivery system to the client’s home. If the client is known to the system and has a card already, they will have access to their benefits that day. If the expedite is processed after the noon batch, the vendor will send the card as soon as possible. In most cases the client will get them the next day.
