I believe the extend pend process for Food Stamps should be eliminated. Be eliminating this process the TANF and FS program would be in line for processing. This would save the worker valuable time by not having to pick this case up again on the 60th day. Also it would eliminate sending a letter reminding the customer that they have not provided information. With the increase in people applying for Food Stamps and the increasing caseloads I believe my time could be spent more cost effective by working on processing the every increasing caseload.
