Oklahoma SNAP state plans

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

A complete copy of the “Replacing Stolen SNAP Benefits: State Plan” submitted by the state of Oklahoma to the U.S. Department of Agriculture on 2/27/2023.

The plan was required to be submitted by federal law on 2/27/23 and according to the USDA website below, it was approved on 05/25/23: https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/replacing-stolen-benefits-state-plan-approvals

In order to help to determine my status to assess fees, you should know that I am a journalist with Scripps News, I request this information for news gathering purposes. Scripps News is a national news network and a subsidiary of the E.W. Scripps company.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Karen Rodriguez
