How this page stays honest
Every DHS-hosted PDF this pack attempted (the full SNAP Certification Manual, the Appendix D/Exhibits dollar-figure PDF, and the separate SNAP Policy Directives change-history PDF) returned a clean HTTP 403 to direct curl with a browser User-Agent on every attempt — a genuine, disclosed access barrier for Arkansas's PRIMARY policy-manual publisher. This pack resolved it by fetching the SAME PDFs through WebFetch instead, which retrieved each document's full binary content successfully (the manual PDF: 4.8MB; the appendices PDF: 1.2MB) for direct pdftotext extraction — a genuine, disclosed access-barrier workaround using a different fetch path to the SAME primary-source file, not a substitution of a different or lower-quality source. Justia's Arkansas Code mirror (law.justia.com) also 403'd on direct WebFetch, the now-familiar Justia-block pattern this roster has documented repeatedly (Louisiana, Virginia, Indiana, Missouri, Maryland, Colorado, South Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma) — resolved via FindLaw's current-code mirror instead, which returned readable text cleanly. By contrast, the Arkansas Bureau of Legislative Research's own emergency-rule filing (arkleg.state.ar.us) returned a clean HTTP 200 to direct curl with no barrier at all.
