Letter to WIC state agencies on unwinding and impacts of infant formula shortage.

This letter extends the expiration date for certain flexibilities for WIC state agencies following the Abbott Recall and infant formula shortage. 

On Oct. 13, 2022 FNS held an initial webinar outlining the initial implementation plans for State SNAP agencies to onboard to the National Accuracy Clearinghouse (NAC) system. 

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 webinar provides an overview of USDA child nutrition programs’ final rule, Streamlining Program Requirements and Improving Integrity in the Summer Food Service Program.

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.

FNS is offering a suite of operational flexibilities that will be available to child nutrition programs for summer 2022 and school year 2022-23.

This rulemaking amends the SFSP regulations to strengthen program integrity by clarifying, simplifying, and streamlining program administration to facilitate compliance with program requirements.
