FNS may grant an extension of the disaster benefit period and establish another approval period. In this situation, FAA prepares a press release notifying budgetary units of the extension and the possibility of renewal.

 

To be eligible for an extension, budgetary units must apply for an additional approval period and be interviewed. Budgetary units must continue to meet the DNAP eligibility requirements to be entitled to an additional approval period.

 

Process the application on the day the application was received and issue NA benefits no later than the following day.
