The Evaluating the Interview Requirement for SNAP Certification study will collect information in five states to assess how eliminating interviews affects outcomes, including administrative efficiency, costs, benefit accuracy, and client access.
USDA is proposing to formally incorporate the FNS Handbook 310 into SNAP regulations. By doing so, it ensures that the public receives a notice and comment period prior to implementation of revisions to the handbook, the standard operating procedure manual for conducting quality control reviews of SNAP cases.
This information collection is for activities associated with SNAP demonstration projects and the SNAP State Options Report, respectively.
The aim of this study is to calculate the costs of eHIP in three states to determine the startup and ongoing costs of administering incentives to SNAP households through EBT integration and to estimate the cost of administering eHIP at scale.
This notice invites the general public and other public agencies to comment on this proposed information collection. This is a new information collection for the contract of the study titled Guidance for SNAP Certification and Quality Control Interviews.
This collection is a revision of a currently approved collection. This information collection, the FNS-245, Negative Case Action Review Schedule, is designed to collect quality control (QC) data and serve as the data entry form for negative case action QC reviews in SNAP.
This new collection will provide key information from a large representative sample of SNAP households to enable FNS to examine how SNAP households change through time.
FNS updated the forms and burden estimates based on consultations with SNAP-Ed state and implementing agency partners, other federal agencies, and users of the forms.
This information collection request is associated with initiating collection actions against households who received an over issuance in SNAP, issuing notifications to SNAP households regarding processes related to intentional program violations, and using disqualified recipient data to ascertain the correct penalty for IPVs, based on prior disqualifications.
SNAP regulations require that each state agency must compare identifiable information about each adult household member against data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Directory of New Hires.
