Attention: DHS-Taylor Office Hearings Coordinator

Please allow this letter to serve as notification for my request for a hearing regarding the reduction in my food assistance benefits case following my annual redetermination. I have filled out all the necessary paperwork and would like to request that the information supplied be used to request a hearing customary for food benefits reduction cases.

As per the information I received on one of the notices I received in the mail, I’ve included my name, address, and case number within this document. I want to point out that “nothing” in my case changed from the previous year to warrant a change to my benefits. I notice, however, a drastic change in the calculations for my food assistance case

One man I talked to was in the military and wasn't able to get a job because of his PTSD, it was sad the way he ended up but I vowed to help in the ways I knew how.…

    To assist is to help someone with money, resources, or information. The food pantry has allowed me to assist impecunious people who may not be as blessed as me. The food pantry broadened my mind as I was able to connect with people who came, and earn a new understanding of the benefits that people can gain from serving their community. Through my community hours at the food pantry I realized what my work did for me, the community and how it was throughout history.…
