VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES REPLACEMENT OF EBT CARDS, BENEFITS AND FOOD
10/25 VOLUME V, PART XVIII, PAGE 5
Replacement may be provided for food destroyed after power outages that exceed eight hours.
The agency must provide replacement benefits within 10 days of the reported loss or within 2 working days of receiving the affidavit, whichever is later.
There is no limit on the number of times a household may receive replacement of food destroyed in a disaster. If USDA issues a disaster declaration and the household is eligible for emergency benefits under that policy, the household may not receive both the emergency benefits and a replacement for the same period. See Part XX for a discussion of the disaster program.
