SNAP recipients are being reminded by the Department of Human Services about the crucial deadlines to secure their August 2023 benefits, while the Department of Planning and Natural Resources has announced an upcoming renovation of the Gallows Bay Boating Access Dock.
SNAP recipients have received an urgent notice from the DHS, cautioning them about the impending deadlines to submit their Recertification Applications, Periodic Reports, or any additional required documents. These measures are critical to ensuring that their benefits for August 2023 are secured and automatically uploaded to their SNAP cards. DHS has underscored the importance of adhering to the deadlines, warning that failure to do so could potentially lead to case closure. The department also remind first-time applicants to ensure their application packets are duly completed, signed, and submitted with all mandatory documents.
Clients needing assistance or further information can reach out to their respective case worker or call the SNAP Certification Offices. They are encouraged to check their card balance by calling 1-866-884-2868 or by logging on to www.fisglobal.com/ebtedgemobile.
Meanwhile, the Gallows Bay Boating Access Dock is set for a renovation, necessitating its temporary closure, as per the announcement from DPNR Commissioner Jean-Pierre L. Oriol. The renovation project is slated to begin on Monday, July 24, and the repair work is expected to span 45 days.
During the renovation period, the boating community is advised to avoid the facility and seek alternative access points, with the Altoona Lagoon pier suggested as an immediate alternative. For the safety of all users, access to the Gallows Bay facility will be restricted until the repairs are complete. For further information regarding this renovation, the Division of Fish and Wildlife at 340-773-1082 on St. Croix is available for contact.
