Short Statement: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is requesting OMB approval to add 26.5 hours (30 minutes per State agency) to the current approved burden hours. FNS is seeking a non-substantive revision to gather information on State agency activity related to the prevention of and response to trafficking activity among SNAP benefit recipients. The form FNS-366B currently collects information regarding State agency investigations, administrative hearings, prosecutions, and disqualification of recipients suspected of committing intentional program violations (IPV). However, the form does not currently allow the State agencies to specify the type of intentional program violation (eligibility fraud versus trafficking of benefits) associated with each activity. As the prevention of recipient trafficking is a top priority for this Administration, FNS has included in its fiscal year (FY) 2014 strategic priorities a commitment to request further clarification on the FNS-366B data submitted in FY 2013 specific to recipient trafficking. Additionally, FNS intends to request basic information on State agency processes associated with cases referred for prosecution.
