Require State agencies to pursue
collection action against overissued households and to extend the
currently approved information collection requirements relating to
intentional Program violation (IPV) determinations.
This is a revision of a
currently approved collection. These adjustments are a result of an
increase in overissuance collections and a decrease in IPV
activity. The overall current burden inventory for this collection
is 166,347 and this revision seeks to request 207,834. This
revision burden estimates reflects a total increase of 41,488
burden hours reported in this information collection. The IPV-
related State agency and household annual reporting and
recordkeeping burden has decreased slightly from 21,486 hours to
19,167 hours to reflect the lower number of disqualifications. eDRS
has allowed States to better identify and track recipients
disqualified from the Program. As a result of these adjustments,
the annual burden associated with the eDRS process reflects a total
decrease from 7,733 hours to 6,153 hours per year. This decrease is
due to the lower number of intentional Program violations. However,
the overall burden inventory has increased since the last
revision.
