Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Definition of "Benefit" as it Pertains to Retail Owners 
Abstract:

This rule proposes to define the word benefit as it pertains to retail owners as recommended by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) under Recommendation 8 of their July 2013, FNS: Controls for Authorizing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Retailers (# 27601-0001-31) audit report. The definition would put the burden of proof on the retail owners to demonstrate that they did not benefit from any trafficking that occurred, and are therefore eligible for a civil money penalty in lieu of disqualification.
