-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), Administration
for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting the federal Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approve the ``State SNAP Agency NDNH
Matching Program Performance Report,'' with minor revisions, for an
additional three years. State agencies administering their Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provide the annual performance
report to OCSE in accordance with the computer matching agreement
between state SNAP agencies and OCSE. The current OMB approval expires
on February 28, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: State agencies administering SNAP are mandated to
participate in a computer matching program with the federal OCSE. The
matching program compares SNAP applicant and recipient information with
employment and wage information maintained in the National Directory of
New Hires (NDNH). The outcomes of the compared information help state
SNAP agencies with verifying and determining an individual's benefit
eligibility. To receive NDNH information, state agencies enter into a
computer matching agreement and adhere to its terms and conditions,
including providing OCSE with annual performance outcomes that are
attributable to the use of NDNH information.
To fulfill OMB requirements, OCSE periodically reports performance
measurements demonstrating how the use of information in the NDNH
supports OCSE's strategic mission, goals, and objectives. OCSE will
provide the annual SNAP performance outcomes to OMB.
Respondents: State SNAP Agencies.
