Introduction

We have divided this Wiki into three main parts, as shown on the menu to the right.  This introduction provides a background to Wikis in general and to the purposes of the food stamp fraud advocacy Wiki in particular.  The next section provides a helpful legal background of the food stamp program and on how to approach alleged IPV cases.  The final section addresses the four methods for adjudicating an IPV claim individually and in more detail.

A  Wiki is just a webpage with multiple authors.  Any registered user on this Wiki can edit most pages, insert links to other websites, and post attachments.  Through this process, we hope to gather the best materials, practices, and ideas for the advocacy of IPV cases.  

Each main topic page on this Wiki has two links at the top, one for a "project page" and another for a "discussion page."  To edit a page, simply double-click on it.  Make your changes to the project page directly; you do not have to observe any editing formats, such as strikethroughs or italics.  If you make major changes to a project page, please go to the discussion page component to describe what you have done.  The discussion page can also be a forum for overarching ideas about the purpose of this Wiki or for anything else that can not be expressed directly on the project page.

This is a collaborative WIKI!

We want to get input from as many practitioners as possible.  You can also add additional links, insert text comments, media or other material.  The sandbox is a great place to practice editing pages!
