USDA FNS is providing notice of a new computer matching program (CMP) between FNS and the state agencies that administer SNAP. The CMP allows state agencies access to the National Accuracy Clearinghouse (NAC) as a tool to prevent individuals from receiving SNAP benefits in more than one state simultaneously, commonly referred to as duplicate participation.
The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) will discontinue the requirement for vendors to use high security seals to secure USDA Foods deliveries as of July 1, 2023.
The SNAP National Accuracy Clearinghouse is an innovative technology solution designed to prevent SNAP participants from receiving benefits in multiple states. All SNAP state agencies are working toward nationwide implementation of the NAC, an interstate data matching system.
The attached questions and answers address the interim final rule, SNAP: Requirement for Interstate Data Matching to Prevent Duplicate Issuances, also known as the NAC interim final rule.

On Oct. 6, 2022, FNS held an initial webinar outlining the requirements of the newly published National Accuracy Clearinghouse (NAC) regulations contained in the Interim Final Rule: SNAP: Requirement for Interstate Data Matching to Prevent Duplicate Issuances.
This landmark rule establishes requirements for state agencies to use the NAC, an innovative technology-based solution designed to identify and prevent duplicate participation. As a result, this rule takes significant steps to both enhance program integrity by reducing the risk of improper payments and improve customer service by requiring state agencies to take timely action to resolve NAC matches.
This interim final rule requires SNAP state agencies to provide information to the National Accuracy Clearinghouse (NAC) regarding individuals receiving SNAP benefits in their states in order to ensure they are not already receiving benefits in another state.
This information collection is for the Performance Reporting System and management evaluation processes, which ensure that SNAP state agencies are operating the program in accordance with statute and regulations.
