When you applied to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits you acknowledged your responsibility to train all the owners and
employees (paid or unpaid, full-time or part-time, including family members) working in your store.
The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) expects Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) authorized stores to have an established, operational compliance policy and program in place to prevent SNAP violations from occurring. Our goal is to ensure that all store owners fully understand and appreciate this responsibility and are aware of training resources.
The SNAP training guide and videos can be found at https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/retailer/training.
Store owners and employees must be trained within 30 days of SNAP authorization and/or store employment. This training must be documented. Documentation must include:
Refresher training is required at least once each calendar year. Refresher training documentation must include:
Store owners are responsible for ensuring that SNAP violations, such as exchanging SNAP benefits for cash or selling ineligible items, are not committed by employees. SNAP violations can result in criminal prosecution, fines and/or removal from SNAP and WIC.
You can prevent violations with a strong operational compliance policy and training program.
