Renewal (recertification) checklist
Everything to do before your certification period ends so there is no gap on your card.
1. Find your certification end date on your approval notice
2. Watch for the notice of expiration and open every letter from the SNAP office
3. Return the renewal form by the date in your notice, even if nothing changed
4. Complete the interview (phone or in person) and reschedule right away if you miss the call
5. Send any proof the office asks for by the deadline on the request
6. Write down the date, the worker's name, and any confirmation number every time you contact the office
