Abstract: FNS is proposing to have the FNS-778 replace the SF-269 for SNAP and be an exception to the new Federal Financial Report (FFR). As a separate action, FNS is in the process of publishing a final rule that will do a nomenclature change to remove the references to the SF-269 and replace them with references to the FNS-778.
