Policy Guidance on Recipient Eligibility

The Food and Nutrition Service provides guidance on implementing SNAP policy to State agencies through memos to its seven regional offices.  The regional offices distribute the guidance to the State agencies with which they work.  We also occasionally send letters on new policy initiatives directly to the welfare directors in the States or to the governors of the States.
