I BELIEVE WE SHOULD ELIMINATE THE EXTEND PENDING OF FOOD STAMP APPLICATION.  IF A CLIENT HAS NOT PROVIDED REQUESTED INFORMATION WITHIN 30 DAYS THEN EITHER THEY ARE NOT AS NEEDY AS THEY CLAIM OR THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING.  RARELY HAVE I SEEN INFORMATION NOT PROVIDED WITHIN 30 DAYS BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING TROUBLE OBTAINING THE VERIFICATIONS.  THE EXTENTIONS ONLY MAKES MORE WORK ON THE WORKER PROCESSING THE CASE.  IT'S ABOUT TIME THINGS ARE CHANGED TO HELP THE WORKER INSTEAD JUST PATRONIZING THE CLIENT.  THEY ARE RECEIVING HELP FROM THE TAXPAYERS AND THE LEAST THEY SHOULD DO IS BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS IF THEY NEED THE HELP.  I DO THIS JOB TO HELP PEOPLE BUT I AM HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY ACTIONS AND IF WE TRULY WANT TO HELP THE CLIENT BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT WE NEED TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO CERTAIN THINGS.  THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BECOME SELF SUFFICIENT IF THEY ARE NOT.
