For SNAP – Removed from National Directory of Contacts because they run an entirely separate Program from SNAP, called Nutrition Assistance Program (NAP). Duplicate participation is not a concern if a household is still receiving NAP benefits from Puerto Rico, as NAP benefits cannot be accessed in the U.S. Although 25% of Puerto Rico’s NAP benefits are issued in a form readily converted to cash, the benefit cannot be converted to cash in mainland Automatic Teller Machines. It is considered to be inaccessible for the SNAP eligibility process. Therefore, it is not necessary to verify NAP benefits or case closure for customers who were previously participating in Puerto Rico.
