Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Reporting of
Lottery and Gambling, and Resource Verification.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0621.
Summary of Collection: In accordance with Section 4009 of the
Agricultural Act of 2014, households in which members receive
substantial lottery and gambling winnings are ineligible for SNAP until
they meet allowable financial resources and income eligibility
requirements. Substantial winnings are defined as winnings that are
equal to or greater than the resource limit for elderly or disabled
households as defined in 7 CFR 273.8(b). States are also required to
work cooperatively with entities responsible for gaming in their State
to identify individuals and households with substantial winnings. SNAP
households must report substantial winnings to State SNAP agencies.
These requirements at 7 CFR 273.11(r) were implemented in 2019 through
final rulemaking titled ``Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program:
Student Eligibility, Convicted Felons, Lottery and Gambling, and State
Verification Provisions of the Agricultural Act of 2014'', published on
April 15, 2019 (84 FR 15083, RIN 0584-AE41). A technical correction to
the 60-Day Notice associated with this rulemaking was published on June
21, 2019 (84 FR 29029, RIN 0584-AE41).
Per Section 5(g) of the Food and Nutrition Act, all applicant
households must meet the SNAP resource limits unless they are
considered categorically eligible (Section 5(j) of the Food and
Nutrition Act) for SNAP benefits. State eligibility workers must
evaluate the resources available to each household to determine whether
these households meet the SNAP resource limits as defined by 7 CFR
273.8(b). Resources are one of several criteria that SNAP State
agencies use to determine SNAP eligibility and States may elect to
mandate verification of resources (7 CFR 273.2(f)(3)). All States must
verify any resource information that appears to be questionable, in
accordance with 7 CFR 273.2(f)(2)(i).
Need and Use of the Information: Food and Nutrition Service (FNS),
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) information collection
captures the burden associated with the requirement States SNAP
Agencies make ineligible SNAP participants with substantial lottery or
gambling winnings and establish cooperative agreements with public and
private business gaming entities within their States to identify SNAP
participants with substantial winnings. Individuals and households are
required to report substantial winnings.
Description of Respondents: State Agencies (100); Business (200);
Individuals/households (1,842,588).
Number of Respondents: 1,842,888.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (as desired).
Total Burden Hours: 789,267.
