SNAP regulations require that each state agency must compare identifiable information about each adult household member against data from the National Directory of New Hires. This comparison will be used to determine the eligibility status of the household and determine the correct benefit amount the household should receive.
The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the Act), requires verification of household eligibility for SNAP benefits, confirm household eligibility throughout participation in the program, and ensure that households receive the correct benefit amount. State agencies are responsible for determining the eligibility of applicant households and issuing benefits to those households entitled to benefits under the Act.
