What is the purpose of the DSS-2435 form?

The DSS-2435 form serves the important function of providing a notice of expiration and facilitating the process of interview recertification. In the context of food and nutrition services, this form is crucial for ensuring that clients are aware of the nearing expiration of their benefits and what steps they need to take to maintain their eligibility. It prompts individuals to schedule an interview to discuss their continuing eligibility, allowing for any changes in circumstances, income, or household composition to be assessed. This process is vital for the continuity of benefits, as it helps ensure that clients do not inadvertently lose access to necessary nutrition assistance due to lapses in paperwork or communication regarding recertification.
