Which form informs the household of application approval, the amount of benefits, and the certification period?

The choice indicating that the form which informs the household of application approval, the amount of benefits, and the certification period is indeed the Notice of Eligibility, Denial, or Pending Status (DSS-8551). This form serves a critical communication purpose within the North Carolina Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) program.

Upon processing an application, it is essential for households to receive clear and concise information about their eligibility for benefits. The DSS-8551 specifically details whether the application has been approved or denied, outlines the benefit amount that the household will receive, and specifies the duration for which these benefits are certified. This is vital for households to understand their food assistance status and to assist them in budgeting and planning accordingly.

The other forms listed have different purposes, such as communicating work requirement responsibilities or requesting additional information needed to complete an application. They do not fulfill the specific role of notifying a household about the results of their application in terms of approval status and benefits awarded.
