By law, certain adults without dependents can only receive SNAP benefits beyond three months in a three-year period unless they meet specific work requirements. We refer to this as the “time limit.”
FNS is committed to supporting states in their efforts to swiftly and effectively improve payment accuracy. The agency has already taken many actions to help states tackle payment errors at their root cause.
This webinar provided state agencies and school districts instructions on how to navigate the USDA Foods Database to access vendor-specific product information, including nutrients, allergens, ingredients and certifications.
