USDA letter to Governors about SNAP Application Processing Timeliness.
This document supplements the "Keys to Payment Accuracy" and "Keys to Application Processing Timeliness" guides by highlighting strategies and considerations for state agencies to ensure they meet program requirements for both priorities.
This document is a correction of a document published on 01/03/2025.
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.
