Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: 2008 Farm Bill Provisions on Clarification of Split Issuance; Accrual of Benefits, Interchange Fees, and Definition Updates
Abstract: On June 18, 2008, Congress enacted The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246). This law is referred to below as the "2008 Farm Bill." This rulemaking will propose to implement sections 4113 (Split Issuance), 4114 (Accrual of Benefits), and part of 4115 (Interchange Fees) of the 2008 Farm Bill, which pertain to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit issuance and redemption. The provisions of section 4115 to deobligate coupons and make Electronic Benefit Transfer cards the sole method of benefit delivery will be addressed in a separate rulemaking. The changes in the rulemaking will be reflected in 7 CFR part 274. In addition, this rulemaking will propose updates to 7 CFR part 271 (General Information and Definitions) to reflect the Program's new name. All the provisions in this Proposed Rule are nondiscretionary and were effective as of October 1, 2008, per the legislative implementation deadline (09-013).
