Title: Updated Trafficking Definition and SNAP-FDPIR Dual Participation | |
Abstract: Title IV-Part IV: Program Integrity, section 4132 (Civil Penalties and Disqualification of Retail Food Stores and Wholesale Food Concerns) and section 4131 (Eligibility Disqualification) provisions clarify current intentional Program violation (IPV) regulations to include: (1) The selling of food purchased with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in exchange for cash or other considerations; and (2) SNAP recipients buying and intentionally dumping food and beverages purchased with SNAP benefits in exchange for cash redeemed from bottle deposits. These provisions amend 7 CFR part 271.2 to include (1) and (2) above in the definition of trafficking. Title IV-Part II: Food Distribution on Indian Reservations, section 4211(b)(3) (Disqualified Participants) provision prohibits clients from participating in Food Distribution on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) at the same time. It also restricts them from participating in one of these programs if they have been disqualified from the other. In this regulation, we delineate timeframes and penalties for those who seek to participate in SNAP (09-008). | |
