Alter the time that a Food Stamp Application may be held pending
 

I support the State Board of Social Services in denying applications after being held pending for 30 days.  The customer/household if in need of assistance will provide required verifications long before the 30 day period has been reached.  It is time consuming for the eligibility workers to keep track of applications for a 60 day period of time.
