FNS provides state administrative expense (SAE) funds to state agencies to support administration and oversight of federal child nutrition programs in their state.

As required by federal law, state SNAP agencies verify financial and non-financial information by matching SNAP applicant and participant information to various national and state data sources to ensure they meet the program’s eligibility criteria.

This study was undertaken to address this knowledge gap.
The National School Lunch Program regulations specify the requirements for conducting Administrative Reviews. The documents on this page include the Administrative Review Manual and other documents and tools available for conducting these compliance reviews.
