Title: ●Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Provision Major System Failures of Title IV of Public Law 110-246 
Abstract: Title IV-Part III: Program Operations, section 4133 (Major System Failures) provision allows USDA to prohibit State agencies from collecting claims from a household and to assert a claim against a State in cases of major systemic error resulting in substantial overpayments of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. This proposed rule will regulate what procedures and processes are to be followed if a State experiences such a failure. It will define what a major system failure is and explain under what circumstances a State agency will be held liable for an overpayment rather than the client household. (09-010)
