Title: Food Stamp Program: Food Stamp Recipient Claim Establishment and Collection Standards | |
Abstract: The Food and Nutrition Service is revising Food Stamp Program regulations which cover the establishment and collection of recipient claims. This action is the result of the enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) and is consistent with the President's regulatory reform effort. In addition, this rule revises existing discretionary areas to improve claim establishment and promote effective management. The inability of State agencies to establish and collect claims has continuously been cited as a deficiency by the Department's Office of Inspector General. The last significant revision to these regulations was in 1983. Subsequent activities, such as technological advances and general debt management regulations, have rendered many portions of the current rule obsolete. In addition, the current rule has been found to place unnecessary burdens on State agencies. State agencies are responsible for establishing and collecting recipient claims. | |
