    Hello, RE::015732730F I came to the Third Avenue location on January 27, 2025, after receiving the PERIODIC REPORT request on January 24. A representative assisted me in scanning the documents and told me everything was fine and to use the assigned number I was given as proof of my appearance. I just received two Periodic Reports again on 2/21/25. One reads to be returned by 2/28 and the other by 3/10. My notice reads my SNAP will be discontinued by 2/26 because I did not return the PERIODIC REPORT that I had already done so in person. My SNAP benefits have been withheld since 2/20/25. I will be returning on 2/24/25 to scan AGAIN. No one will talk to you when you show up in person and we are left to believe that our documents are scanned in when the scanner reads FINISH. I would like to speak to someone in person, one to get this settled and two, when I go online and they want to verify my record after providing my S.S. and birthday by sending me a code, but HRA has someone's email and telephone attached to my file. I have tried to get this corrected for months but only received computer-generated answers and to call the telephone number 718 557-1399 where no one answers all day. Any advice on how to get all this settled?
