Program informational activities convey information about the program, including household rights and responsibilities, to applicants and households receiving SNAP through publications, telephone hotline, films, media, and face-to-face contacts.
At a minimum, counties must perform informational activities as follows:
- Display FNS posters and pamphlets containing information regarding food containing substantial amounts of the recommended daily allowances of protein, minerals, and vitamins, menus making use of these foods, and the relationship between health and diet.
- Provide printed materials such as posters, films and pamphlets, that explain the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the Food and Nutrition Program (FNP) and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program supplied by agencies administering those programs. Households must be informed of the availability of these materials at initial application and review.
- Inform participant and applicant households of their rights and responsibilities.
- Prominently display the following posters:
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Rights and Responsibilities
- And Justice for All
- Nondiscrimination
- Provide each applicant with "Your Civil Rights Under the North Dakota Department of Human Services Programs" brochure (DN143). The DN143 is included in the DN405-Application for Assistance Guidebook.
