Department of human services - food stamps - medicaid - william drapala food stamp denial scam by okc dept. Of human services, claim they have wrong address denied me because i never showed up for interview

This office denied me access to the USDA food stamp program because they claim they have the wrong address. One number was transposed on my address (6245 instead of 6246) so I never got the letter of the scheduled appointment for an interview.

I called my caseworker (Richard Whitley) and left at least 10 phone messages during the period of 10/15/07 regarding the despositon of my case. He never returned my calls. On 10/25/07 my case was closed without my knowledge.

I called another number today 10/29, under the heading 'food stamps' under the dept. Of human services government listings. A woman at this number told me that my case had been closed because I never showed up. She told me that they had the wrong address.

What a convenient way to dismiss a potential client's application by transposing one number to another.

I called the 'civil rights' division of this agency and spoke with a woman named Sherrie (Dow?). She told me that I and my son were not eligible because we were not considered a 'family', and that "this program was for families with small children only".

If you have been discriminated by this agency please file a report with the USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410.

I have filed a discrimination complaint under 'familial status', parental status, and age.
