Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Annual State Report on Verification of Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Participation.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0605.
Summary of Collection: SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 273.16 require
that State agencies disqualify an individual who has committed an
intentional program violation (IPV). Paragraph 7 CFR 273.16(e)(8)
requires that these individuals ``be disqualified in accordance with
the disqualification periods and procedures in paragraph (b) of this
section'' (273.16(b)). Paragraph 7 CFR 273.16(i) requires State
agencies to report information concerning each individual disqualified
for an IPV to the disqualified recipient database, the electronic
Disqualified Recipient System (eDRS), and to use eDRS data to determine
the eligibility of individual applicants prior to certification. SNAP
regulations at 7 CFR 272.14 require that each State agency establish a
system to verify and ensure that benefits are not issued to individuals
who are deceased, and that data source is the Social Security
Administration's (SSA) Death Master File. The information required for
the Annual State Report on Verification of SNAP Participation is
obtained by validating that the State had the appropriate systems in
place and followed procedures currently mandated at 7 CFR 272.14 and 7
CFR 273.16 for the preceding fiscal year.
Need and Use of the Information: The information required for the
Annual State Report on Verification of SNAP Participation is obtained
by validating that the State agency had the appropriate systems in
place and followed procedures currently mandated at 7 CFR 272.14 and 7
CFR 273.16 for the preceding fiscal year. State agencies must annually
confirm, by stating in one email to their FNS Regional SNAP Program
Director, that the appropriate systems were in place in the State to
meet the requirements of regulations at 7 CFR 272.14 and 273.16(i)(4),
and that they conducted the matches required by these regulations.
States are required to submit their Section 4032 reports to the FNS
Regional SNAP Director by March 31 each year for the preceding Federal
fiscal year. 7 CFR 272.1(f) mandates that State agencies are required
to retain all records associated with the administration of SNAP for no
less than 3 years.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 106.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 119.
Dated: April 14, 2022.
