The Food and Nutrition Service is adopting as a final rule, without change, a direct final rule that made changes to SNAP regulations to account for the replacement of the paper coupon issuance system with the Electronic Benefits Transfer system as the nationwide method of distributing benefits to program participants.
When determining eligibility for FDPIR, the proposed rule would permanently exclude combat pay from being considered income and eliminate the maximum dollar limit of the dependent care deduction.
This direct final rule updates and reorganizes the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to replace paper coupon issuance system with the Electronic Benefits Transfer system as the nationwide method of distributing benefits to program recipients.
