In Committee

Summary

This bill would require the USDA to provide a 60-day public notice and comment period before finalizing substantive changes to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) quality control guidance. It covers guidance likely to force state agencies to change systems, procedures, or staffing or to alter verification rules, and it allows interim final guidance only when there is an urgent, immediate need.

  • State agencies would get advance notice and a chance to comment on guidance that could require changes to their systems, procedures, or staffing.
  • SNAP recipients and advocates would have at least 60 days to review and comment on proposed guidance that affects verification or eligibility checks.
  • The USDA could still issue interim final guidance immediately in cases of urgent need, while beginning the notice-and-comment process.

Public comment for SNAP guidance

If enacted, the Secretary of Agriculture would have to publish new or updated SNAP quality-control guidance for public comment. The comment period would be at least 60 days before the guidance is finalized. This would apply when guidance would make states change systems, procedures, or staffing for quality reviews, or when it would affect SNAP verification rules. In urgent cases, the Secretary could issue interim final guidance while still opening the 60-day comment period.
