If the applicant prefers to apply for benefits at the FO, complete the expedited service
questions on the SNAP application (see SI 01801.150A) and complete the SSA-4233 (Social Security Administration Transmittal for Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Applications).
Be sure to:
-

check the “YES” box for “Expedited Service Requested” and write in bold “EXPEDITED
PROCESSING” across the top of first page of the SNAP application.
NOTE: If you mail the paper application to the SNAP office, write “EXPEDITED PROCESSING”
in red ink.
-
•
fax the application and all available or relevant documentation to the local SNAP
office to process via the SSA-4233; and
-
•
annotate “SNAP – Dire Need Referral” in the Remarks section on the SSR.
IMPORTANT: Immediately send the application to the SNAP office. Do not hold the application in
the office.
