SNAP customers can request a benefit replacement for food lost or destroyed due to the winter storm in February 2021 by calling 2-1-1 OR by sending in Form H1855.

Call 2-1-1, select a language, and then choose Option 2.

To request a benefit replacement using form H1855:

Complete Form H1855, Affidavit for Nonreceipt or Destroyed Food Stamp Benefits and submit it by mail or fax.

Mail: Texas Health & Human Services Commission, PO Box 149027, Austin, TX 78714-9027

Fax: 1-877-447-2839
