Replacement of Stolen Benefits

Submit claims by phone, in-person, mail, email, fax; or household may choose to have an interview (in-person or by phone) with a Self-Reliance Specialist. The state has 10 calendar days to validate the claim.
Benefit Availability: Benefits for approved claims are issued within 10 calendar days after date of claim submission. You must replace your card.
