We are proposing to rescind Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Revision of Civil Rights Data Collection Methods regulations, issued as a final rule on Dec. 14, 2023.
The proposed information collection is a request for a revision of a currently approved collection of information relating to the reporting and recordkeeping burden associated with completing, submitting, and maintaining a record of form FNS-339, the Federal-State Supplemental Nutrition Programs Agreement for the administration of WIC, FMNP, and SFMNP.
This collection is for providing SNAP households advance or concurrent notice of state agency action to store unused SNAP benefits offline due to three or more months of account inactivity and for those households to seek reinstatement of benefits prior to permanent expungement. Additionally, this collection is for providing SNAP households advance or concurrent notice prior to the state agency expunging unused SNAP benefits from the household's Electronic Benefit Transfer account due to nine months of account inactivity.
This document is a correction of a document published on 01/03/2025.
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.
FNS is withdrawing the proposed rule titled, “Provisions to Improve the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's Quality Control System,” that published in the Federal Register on Sept. 19, 2023, and its correction on Dec. 19, 2023.
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.
The activities that are covered by this Information Collection Request include the transition from individual collections for program waivers and state plans to a new application supporting multiple USDA programs.
This information collection is for activities associated with SNAP demonstration projects and the SNAP State Options Report, respectively.
The final rule would amend the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program regulations to incorporate three provisions of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. This rule also clarifies procedures for when State agencies must screen for exceptions to the time limit and verification requirements for exceptions.
