Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Assessing Equity in Work Requirements and SNAP Employment
and Training.
OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
Summary of Collection: Section 17 [7 U.S.C. 2026] (a)(1) of the
Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended, provides general
legislative authority for the planned data collection. It authorizes
the Secretary of Agriculture to enter into contracts with private
institutions to undertake research that will help improve the
administration and effectiveness of SNAP. FNS is conducting this study
to identify data available from SNAP State agencies, their E&T provider
partners, and other sources that can be used to develop measures to
assess equity in the administration of SNAP work requirements and E&T
services. The developed measures can be used to determine how and
whether States are providing equitable access to SNAP through the
administration of work requirements, achieving equitable participation
in education and training opportunities through the SNAP E&T program,
and adopting program option and discretionary policies and procedures
that influence disparities.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS has identified four objectives
for this study:
1. Identify areas in the administration of work requirements in
SNAP and in SNAP E&T program administration and access where equity
issues could occur.
2. Identify and describe the data that could be used to assess
access and outcomes in the areas identified in Objective 1.
3. Describe how State agencies address equity in administering work
requirements in their SNAP and SNAP E&T programs.
4. Develop recommendations on how FNS should assess and measure
equity in the administration of work requirements in SNAP and in SNAP
E&T program administration and access.
Description of Respondents: State, Local and Tribal Governments,
Businesses, Individuals.
Number of Respondents: 296.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Once.
Total Burden Hours: 366.32.
