[Volume 2 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) MS 2006 – R. 6/15/26 – OMTL – 698 Volunteers
Volunteers or other persons not employed by the Department may be involved in certification-related activities; however, they cannot conduct certification interviews or certify applicant households. Activities of these volunteers include the following:
A. Teaching nutrition;
B. Transporting individuals to certification and issuance offices;
C. Assisting in completion of required eligibility forms;
D. Assisting in securing necessary verification; and
E. Acting as representatives.
No persons or organizations that are parties to a strike or lockout are used in any certification-related activity. An employee of the Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) whose spouse is a party to a strike is not included in this restriction.
These individuals may be used as a source of verification for information provided by applicant households if they would, under normal circumstances, be in the best position to confirm a household's circumstances. The facilities of persons or organizations who are parties to a strike or lockout are not used in the certification process or as a site for the certification interview.]
