Abstract:
This is a new information collection request. Although the agency has been collecting this information, we were unware that collecting this information in violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act. This final rule implements benefit issuance provisions of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, Public Law 110-234 (2008 Farm Bill) and the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, P.L. 115-334, (2018 Farm Bill). Both Farm Bills amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the Act), which includes benefit issuance, storage and expiration requirements for administering the program. State agencies are responsible for issuing benefits to those households entitled to benefits under the Act. This burden request covers activities associated with the required notices sent to individuals/household SNAP participants related to taking benefits off-line prior to permanent expungement after three months of SNAP EBT account inactivity and permanently expunging benefits after nine months of account inactivity. In addition, this burden request covers the activities associated with reinstating the off-line benefits to those SNAP participants upon contact by the household.
