Title: Food Stamp Program: Retailer Application Processing
Abstract: This rule would increase from 30 to 60 days the initial application processing time frame for stores that apply for authorization. It would also allow FCS to request specific documentation to verify applicant firms' eligibility. Such information would include, but would not be limited to, business licenses, photographic identification cards, bills of sale, deeds, leases, sales contracts, certificates of incorporation, sales records, invoice records, and tax records. This documentation would be used to confirm self-reported information provided on the application form and to obtain third-party verification. This rule also includes two provisions dealing with disclosure of retailer tax information based on changes made by Pub. L. 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA). (95-008)
