.7 County Modification Requests

Requests will be considered on a county-by-county basis, except for case data counties which will be considered as one system. Counties within the case data system which require modifications from the approved system will be considered separately,

Any request for modification must contain the following: -A Overall justification for the modification as described under acceptable justification.

-B An explanation of deletions or combinations of data elements. Any additional information which would assist in evaluating the variations should be provided.

.C A copy of the modified form.

NOTE: Alli counties using computerized forms must submit modification requests after either making the necessary programming changes to comply with the state form or determining that variations are required. All applicable messages must be submitted for approval as well as a sample computer-generated form showing the format which will be used. Only the portion of each message which relates to the language on the state form must be reviewed. Computerized explanations which would be entered in blank spaces if the state form were used are not subject to review or standardization unless the county requests such a review.

County modification requests should be sent to the Food Stamp Program Corrective Action Bureau. Requests will be reviewed by the FSPMB and counties will be notified of the results of the review within 30 days of receipt of the request.
