Provisions To Improve the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's Quality Control System; Withdrawal
Published Date: 1/6/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The USDA is pulling back a plan to change how it checks the accuracy of the SNAP program, which helps people buy food. They want to rethink and improve the rules before moving forward, so no changes or costs will happen right now. This affects SNAP participants and state agencies that help run the program, with updates coming later after more talks.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
FNS Will Provide State Technical Assistance
The Food and Nutrition Service will continue engaging stakeholders and will provide State agencies with technical assistance on corrective actions to address state performance issues related to payment accuracy, major system failures, and application timeliness. These efforts are intended to improve monitoring and oversight of SNAP operations but do not implement the withdrawn regulatory changes at this time.
Proposed SNAP QC Rule Withdrawn
On January 6, 2025, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service withdrew the proposed rule titled "Provisions to Improve the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's Quality Control System" (originally published September 19, 2023, with a correction on December 19, 2023). That withdrawal means the proposed regulatory amendments will not take effect on that date and no changes from that proposal are being implemented now.
