Cancel Rejecting a SNAP Application
Cancel reject when agency error is only reason the application was rejected:
- Within 60 days, cancel reject
- After 60 days, contact FAMIS helpdesk to complete a cancel reject
Do not cancel reject participant error applications. For participant error, see Cancel Reject Quick Reference for instructions on when to use the existing application to register an application, when a new application is needed and what date to use as the application date.
