Legal information

Legal Information

Your Right to be Treated Fairly

This institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex and in some cases religion or political beliefs.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture also prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, religious creed, disability, age, political beliefs or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA.

Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027), found online at: http://www.ascr.usda.gov/complaint_filing_cust.html, and at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form. To request a copy of the complaint form, call (866) 632-9992. Submit your completed form or letter to USDA by:

(1)mail: U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights

1400 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20250-9410

(2)fax: (202) 690-7442; or

(3)email: program.intake@usda.gov

For any other information dealing with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) issues, persons should either contact the

USDA SNAP Hotline Number at (800) 221-5689, which is also in Spanish or call the State Information/Hotline Numbers (click the link for a listing of hotline numbers by State); found online at: http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/contact_info/hotlines.htm.

Medicaid and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

To file a complaint of discrimination regarding a program receiving Federal financial assistance through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), write: HHS Director, Office for Civil Rights, Room 515-F, 200 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20201 or call (202) 619-0403 (voice) or (800) 537-7697 (TTY).

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

You also can file a complaint with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Civil Rights Office. Email HHSCivilRightsOffice@hhsc.state.tx.us, call

1-888-388-6332, fax (512) 438-5885, or write Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Civil Rights Office, 701 W. 51st St., MC W206, Austin, Texas 78751.

Citizenship and Immigration Status

You can get benefits for your children who are U.S. citizens or legal immigrants even if you are not a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant. You do not have to give your citizenship or immigration status to get benefits for your children. You only have to give the citizenship or immigration status of people who want benefits. If you are not a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant, the only benefits you might be able to get are emergency Medicaid services. Getting long-term care (Medicaid for the Elderly and People with Disabilities) or cash help (TANF) could affect your immigration status and your chances of getting a Permanent Resident Card (green card). Getting other benefits will not affect your immigration status and your chances of getting a Permanent Resident Card. You might want to talk to an agency that helps immigrants with legal questions before you apply. If you are a refugee or have been given asylum, getting benefits will not affect your chances of getting a Permanent Resident Card or becoming a citizen.

Social Security Numbers

You only need to give the Social Security numbers (SSNs) for people who want benefits. Giving or applying for an SSN is voluntary; however, anyone who doesn’t apply for an SSN or doesn’t give an SSN can’t get benefits. If you don’t have an SSN, we can help you apply for one if you are a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant. You must be a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant to get an SSN. You can get benefits for your children if they have an SSN and you don’t. We will not give SSNs to the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. We will use SSNs to check the amount of money you get (income), if you can get benefits, and the amount of benefits you can get. (7 C.F.R 273.6 for food benefits; 45 C.F.R 205.52 for TANF; and 42 C.F.R 435.910 for health care.)

•If my child and I both get Medicaid, I must:

-Help the state get any payments and coverage we should get, but don't right now.

If I don't help the state, my child can get Medicaid, but I might not.

-Identify who the child's other parent is.

-Allow the state to keep any medical support payments.

•I know I will be asked to cooperate with the agency that collects medical support from an absent parent. If I think that cooperating to collect medical support will harm me or my children, I can tell HHSC and I may not have to cooperate.

If I get Medicaid, HHSC will keep medical service payments I can get from other sources, such as:

•My health insurance.

•Money I got because of injuries.

•Money collected for me or my children by the Office of Attorney General.

I must tell HHSC about these sources. If I don't, I am breaking the law.

HHSC will only keep the amount of medical support and service payments allowed by law. I will work with HHSC to get these funds.

By signing below, I agree:

•To let HHSC and other state, federal, and local agencies check, share, and get facts about anyone on my benefits case (the household).

•To let other people, businesses, and organizations share facts they have about anyone on my benefits case (the household) with HHSC.

•The facts to be checked and shared include anything that helps decide: (1) who can get benefits, and (2) the amount of benefits.
