FNS Documents & Resources

FNS is issuing this memorandum in an effort to clarify the characteristics of BBCE programs and the actions states must take to ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.

Since the Sept. 10, 2015 (80 FR 54410) publication of the final rule, Clarification of Eligibility of Fleeing Felons, FNS received several questions regarding its implementation. FNS released a Q&A in response to those questions on March 8, 2016. Since that time, FNS has received additional questions and therefore, issued this second Q&A to address them.

The attached questions and answers provide additional policy clarification responding to state agency questions concerning the interim final rule titled SNAP Employment and Training Program Monitoring, Oversight and Reporting Measures published in the Federal Register on March 24, 2016.

This memorandum provides additional guidance and questions and answers for state agencies to implement the Review of Major Changes in Program Design and Management Evaluation Systems final rule.
