The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is available for qualified residents

Hillsborough County, Fla. (Oct. 28, 2022) - Hillsborough County residents impacted by Hurricane Ian can now pre-register for food assistance through the Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP).

D-SNAP, implemented by the Florida Department of Children and Families, requires that Hillsborough County applicants pre-register from now through Sunday, Oct. 30, by visiting disasterassistance.gov. Once an applicant registers, they can schedule and conduct their phone interview through Sunday, Oct. 30.

The Florida Department of Children and Families is implementing the D-SNAP food assistance program in phases throughout the counties that were impacted by Hurricane Ian and recognized as a disaster-declared county. Applicants who are eventually approved for D-SNAP will receive an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card by mail that can be used to purchase food. The EBT card cannot be used for alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, or non-food items.

To qualify, applicants must not be receiving regular Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and must meet financial eligibility requirements. The applicants must have been living or working in a disaster-declared county at the time of Hurricane Ian.

In addition, applicants must have suffered a disaster-related loss, such as one of the following:

When pre-registering, applicants should have a state driver's license or identification number and a Social Security number to help determine eligibility more quickly. The pre-registration application will require some verification.

Applicants who cannot pre-register online can visit the D-SNAP event location in-person when open. The date and location for the D-SNAP event in Hillsborough County will be determined soon.

After Hillsborough County applicants pre-register, the applicant will call the D-SNAP Call Center at (800) 621-3362 between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. from Friday, Oct. 28, through Sunday, Oct. 30. For additional information on the D-SNAP program, visit MyFLFamilies.com.

Separately from the D-SNAP program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has opened a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) at Hillsborough Community College at the Regent, 6437 Watson Rd., Riverview, FL 33578. It is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, including Saturday and Sunday.

The DRC offers assistance for Hurricane Ian survivors with applying for federal assistance, disaster loans, updating applications, and learning about other resources that are available. There is also information about a variety of state agencies, FEMA, and the U.S. Small Business Administration. The DRC is open to all Florida residents. You do not have to be a Hillsborough County resident to visit the DRC and receive assistance.

The location at Hillsborough Community College at the Regent opened on Oct. 25.

For more information on the DRCs, visit FEMA.gov or Bay Area Legal Services at BALS.org/help/disaster-relief.

Election Day is Tuesday, but more than 3.8 million Florida voters have already cast their ballots, either through mail voting or in-person early voting.

Tampa Bay voters still have a chance to vote early, but time is running out.

Florida requires all counties to allow early voting this year from Oct. 29 through Nov. 5, though they have the option of opening sites as early as Oct. 24 and offering early voting through Nov. 6.

While Floridians must cast their ballots at their designated precincts on Election Day, they can vote at any polling place in their county of residence during early voting. To vote in the 2022 general election, voters are required to have registered by Oct. 11. Registration status can be viewed on the Florida Division of Elections website.

For more information on early voting dates, locations and other logistics, check out our guide below.

When is early voting?

In Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, early voting runs from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Sunday, Nov. 6. Early voting in Pasco County runs from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Saturday. In Hernando County, early voting will run from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.through Saturday.

What do I need to bring?

Voters must bring a form of identification with their photo and a form of identification with their signature. They can bring one ID that contains both a photo and a signature, such as a driver’s license. Acceptable forms of identification can be found on the Florida Supervisor of Elections website.

Can I still vote in person if I’ve received a mail ballot? What if I lost my mail ballot?

You can still vote in person if you’ve received a mail ballot. You will be able to either cast a regular ballot, or a provisional ballot, which means the office will check to see whether you have already cast your vote via mail. If you still have your mail ballot and decide you want to vote in person, you should bring it with you to the voting site.

Can I turn in a mail ballot during early voting?

Early voting locations have drop boxes — now called “secure ballot intake stations” — where voters can drop off their mail ballots during early voting hours. Such drop boxes are not available at polling places on Election Day.

I sent my voter registration application in the mail on or before Oct. 11. How can I know if it has been processed?

You can check your voter registration status on the Florida Division of Elections website. You can also call your supervisor of elections.

I’ve moved within my county but haven’t changed my address yet. Where should I go to vote?

During early voting, you can vote at any site in your county. You will be able to update your address at the early voting site.

I’ve moved counties, but haven’t updated my address. Can I still vote?

Yes, you can still vote. You will be able to update your address at the early voting site.

My legal name has changed but I haven’t updated my voter registration yet. Do I need to change it before I vote?

You can update your voter registration at voting locations during early voting and on Election Day and then cast your ballot.

Political editor Emily L. Mahoney will send you a rundown on local, state and national politics coverage every Thursday.

I haven’t voted in a long time. Am I still registered to vote?

Inactive voters may be removed from voting rolls after two election cycles if mail sent from their supervisor of elections office is returned as undeliverable and voters do not respond to an address final confirmation notice. Call your supervisor of elections or visit the Florida Division of Elections website to check your registration status.

STUART, FLORIDA – When it comes to Florida swimming, Jacksonville Bolles knows how to make a splash – and then some.

Bolles’ boys’ and girls’ teams continued their dominance last Friday, sweeping to their 35th and 32nd consecutive small-class state championships, respectively, last Friday at the Sailfish Splashpark Aquatic Athletics Center in Stuart.

The Bulldogs won the Class 1A state titles in spectacular fashion, winning seven individual or relay championships on the boys’ side, and using superior depth to win the girls’ side.

Bolles ran up 546 points to easily beat the South Florida Heat (186) for the boys’ title. South Florida Heat is a program for home-educated athletes.

Bolles’ Carter Lancaster came away a triple winner, swimming on two relays and capturing the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1 minute, 45.02 seconds.

Lancaster swam on the 200 medley relay (1:28.05) with William Heck, Aidan Paro and Andrew Heck, and on the meet-ending 400 freestyle relay (2:58.50) with Seth Tolentino, Anthony Whittall and Kayden Lancaster.

Kayden Lancaster also won the 500 freestyle (4:25.74). William Heck also captured the 100 breastroke (:53.60).

William Heck, a senior and North Carolina State commit, smashed his own state record earlier in the preliminaries (:52.38).

Also for the Bulldogs, Andrew Kravchenko won the 50 freestyle (:20.41) and Landon Kyser took first in the 100 backstroke (:49.02).

Individually, sophomore sensation Kaii Winkler, who competes for the South Florida Heat, swam a blistering time of :42.52 to win the 100 freestyle, breaking the 15-16 national age group record.

Winkler broke the record of :42.67 set by Ryan Hoffer in 2014. Winkler also won the 200 freestyle (1:34.18).

In the girls’ meet, South Florida Heat’s Erika Palaez shattered the state record in winning the 100 butterfly (:52.12). The North Carolina State commit also won the 100 backstroke in state record time (:51.78) and swam on the first-place 400 freestyle relay team (3:24.30) with Alanis Santiago, Mia Patton and Gioia Balzano.

Also doing well was The King’s Academy’s Alyssa Bozzuto, who swam on the winning 200 medley relay team (1:42.41) with Ava Fasano, Emma Herrera and Julianna Bell, and won the 50 freestyle (:22.69).

Bolles’ 200 freestyle relay team of Simany Lee, Katherine Meyers-Labenz, Julia Murphy and Lila Higgo (1:32.82) finished first, helping the Bulldogs outpoint The King’s Academy of West Palm Beach, 374-237, for the team championship.

In the Class 2A state championships held on Saturday, Academy of the Holy Names in Tampa won seven events to outpoint Miami Gulliver Prep, 352-254 for the girls’ championship.

In the Class 3A state championships held on Nov. 4, Ponte Vedra’s girls’ team won two relays and two individual races to outpoint Tampa Jesuit, 290-245, for the title.

Penelope Zarczynski won the 100 freestyle, and swam on the first place 200 freestyle relay team with Ann Wohlgemuth, Kate Pelot and Olivia Copeland.
