Title: SNAP: Update to Nondiscrimination Statement Requirements | |
Abstract:
This proposed rule would amend SNAP regulations by requiring that the application must contain a nondiscrimination statement that assures the State agency is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), religious creed, disability, age, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity. The proposed rule would also remove other prescribed text including outdated administrative language and replace it with text directing State agencies to comply with current USDA requirements for the complete nondiscrimination statement. Currently, SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 273.2(b)(1)(viii) refer to a specific nondiscrimination statement, which is outdated. This change is aimed to ensure nondiscrimination statements are consistent across SNAP and in alignment with USDA requirements. |
