Once that number is received, we will compile all of the information that we need into a full appellate brief, which can be twenty or more pages in length depending upon the circumstances of your case.

After the notice of appeal is sent to the Department, we wait to receive a case number from the Administrative Review Division. The Administrative Appeal must be filed within ten (10) days of receiving the letter from the USDA or your rights will be waived. Generally speaking, your appeal rights for a SNAP or EBT Appeal are governed by 7 CFR §279 and 7 USC §2023, which provide two separate appeals: a Administrative Appeal (which comes first) and a Judicial Appeal (which comes subsequent to the Administrative process). If you fail to appeal the matter, then the Department will levy the fine against you and may pursue you for every dollar. This fine is appealable within ten days of receiving a letter from the Department indicating that they are seeking to impose the fine against you. Imposition of Civil Money Penalties: If you have been permanently disqualified and subsequently sell your store or close your business, the USDA may send you a letter imposing a fine of not more than $59,000 for selling your business.You should contact our offices immediately upon receiving any letter accusing you, your staff or your firm of trafficking, or otherwise seeking a permanent disqualification. The permanent disqualification cannot be undone unless you appeal the matter immediately. A permanent disqualification means that you personally, as the SNAP Applicant, may not ever again own or operate a store, in any state, that involves an EBT machine. Permanent Disqualification: The most severe punishment that the USDA hands out also tends to be the most over-utilized option that the Food and Nutrition Service turns to for most SNAP Violation letters.A long suspension may put your store out of business and leave you with little choice but to appeal the decision. Suspensions of Six Months or More: Has your store been suspended or disqualified for a SNAP Violation? If your suspension is for six months or more, call us to evaluate your case before the suspension becomes fixed! The loss of revenue that most businesses suffer from an EBT suspension is severe.

If your store has been denied for any of these reasons, a SNAP or EBT Appeal is something you should consider. The USDA will deny applications for several different reasons, but will on occasion improperly deny applications based upon the prior suspension of a family member, a mis-categorization of your store as an “ineligible firm”, or a lack of “business integrity and reputation”.

Has your store been suspended or permanently disqualified from accepting SNAP benefits? Our office specializes in helping stores with an EBT Appeal to overturn application denials, EBT suspensions and EBT disqualifications.
