“I never applied for these benefits and from my knowledge I do not qualify anyway.”

“Dear PoPville,

Today (Saturday) I received two very confusing pieces of mail, and I’m curious if anyone else has had this happen.

I received a letter from DC LINK/Department of Human Services saying that to approve my application for SNAP benefits I need to submit some additional information and I received another letter with the Capital Access benefits card. BUT I never applied for these benefits and from my knowledge I do not qualify anyway.

Has this happened to anyone else? I plan to call on Monday to inquire or at minimum notify them of the error.

Thanks for the crowdsourced help!
