Reminder: Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations
The Tribal agency that administers the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservation (FDPIR) can request all of the following from FAA:
●The budgetary unit’s NA participation.
●The status of an NA intentional program violation, when appropriate.
The Tribal agency uses the Food Distribution/Nutrition Assistance Program Participation (FAA-0559A) form to request information. Once the Tribal agency completes the required areas, the form is emailed to the FAA Tribal Liaison at
[email protected] for review. The FAA Tribal Liaison has five workdays to respond to the FAA-0559A form and return the form back to the Tribal agency.
For more information, see
FAA8.A01B titled USDA Food Distribution Programs (Commodities).
Urgent Bulletin Reminder: Experian Verify Availability
An Urgent Bulletin was emailed on 06/16/2026 to inform staff that, effective immediately, Experian Verify is no longer available to use as an income verification source.
Experian Verify has been removed from the CNAP+ Manual.
General Information: AMPS Timeliness Calendar
The AZTECS Monthly Production Schedule (AMPS) Timeliness Calendars from June 2026 through December 2026 have changed. This is due to a change made to the Statewide Interview Line Interactive Voice Response (IVR) call management process.
For new NA applications, there is a priority window of dates for a participant to call and complete their interview. When a participant calls the Statewide Interview Line by 4:00 p.m. on a business day during their priority window, the participant’s call is routed to the interview queue.
To assist staff when discussing the interview priority window for new NA applications, the 1st Day to Call column has been added to the AMPS Timeliness Calendar. The NA DENIAL column has been renamed Last Day to Call NA DENIAL.
To make room for the new column, the MA APPROVAL column has been removed and has merged with CA in the CASH/*MA Approval column.
NOTE Though MA determinations are completed in HEAplus, the MA approval date has been included on the AMPS Timeliness Calendar at the request of staff.
