Anti-Fraud Locator using EBT Retailer Transactions (ALERT)
FNS has the primary responsibility for monitoring any fraudulent activity by retailers and
the individual States for recipients. While traditional methods of fraud, Identified under the
coupon distribution/redemption system, are reduced through the use of EBT, the nature of
electronic transactions also introduces previously unknown approaches to committing
fraud. Methods of detecting (and ultimately preventing) food stamp fraud by EBT enabled
retailers are essential to the successful management of the benefit redemption process.
The ALERT system receives monthly transaction records from EBT processors and
conducts analysis of patterns in the data, which indicate potential fraudulent activity by
stores. FNS investigators and compliance offices use these reports to support case
management. Other users include USDA Office of the Inspector General (OIG)
investigators and the staff members of Regional and Field offices.

National Finance Center (NFC)
The NFC is the operational component of the USDA Office of the Chief Finance
Officer. NFC designs, develops, implements, and operates cost-effective financial,
administrative, and management information systems and services supporting the
missions of USDA and its customers. NFC provides automated, integrated systems
and support services for payroll, personnel, administrative payments, accounts
receivables, property management, budget, and accounting activities. In addition,
NFC provides systems and support services for several government wide
processes, including the Federal Retirement Thrift Savings Plan and the Direct
Premium Remittance System.
Systems that require NFC access are:
a. Foundation Financial Information System (FFIS) – A fully integrated financial package
that is designed to meet stringent budget and funds control needs, as well as
complex multi-fund accounting and reporting needs.
b. Central Accounting Data Base Inquiry (CADI) – CADI is an online electronic access
system which allows direct access to agency Central Accounting System (CAS) data.
It provides information as of the current week and contains detailed accounting
transactions for agency use. CADI also provides an automated Funds Control
System as well as a Salaries and Benefits Projection feature.
c. Telephone and Utilities Maintenance Systems (TUMS) – TUMS is a Web application that
is accessed through a link on the NFC home page. Master accounts for commercial
telecommunication services and equipment and public utility services are
established and maintained in TUMS. The application is used to: (1) Add new
telephone and utility master accounts; (2) Update existing master accounts; (3)
Delete existing master accounts; (4) View existing master accounts; and (5) View
history of additions, modifications, and deletions.
d. Integrated Acquisition System (IAS) – IAS is a Web-based system that interfaces with
the Foundation Financial Information System (FFIS), and allows for electronic
commitment accounting, obligations, receipt, and invoice payments. IAS is a key
part of USDA’s e-Procurement initiatives.
e. Financial Management (FM) – NFC Financial Management application systems include:
f. Payroll/Personnel System (PPS) – PPS is an integrated system, linking personnel action
processing and payroll activities. The system uses a database concept that permits
integration and sharing of data records among many modular subsystems. The database
consists of current and prior salary payment information, personnel actions, name and
address information, and time and attendance (T&A) data. These records are maintained
so that information can be accessed randomly. As personnel actions and payroll
documents are processed, updated data replaces existing data elements in the PPS
database. Users of the system include all employees who are serviced by the system to find

k.

out their personal information to HR and hiring managers who keep track of hiring, firing,
position categorization, etc. Payroll department employees use the output of the system to
ensure that the proper checks are distributed as well as tax information and retirement
information.
Web System for Time and Attendance Reporting (Web STAR) – Web STAR is a
Windows based application which allows entry, correction, and printing of time and
attendance (T&A) reports.
Centralized Enrollment Clearinghouse System (CLER) – A web based centralized,
automated system that reconciles payroll office and carrier Federal Employees Health
Benefits enrollment records. CLER provides an efficient and cost effective way for both
health insurance carriers and Federal Government payroll offices to conduct their quarterly
reconciliation of FEHB enrollment data records. The CLER database stores, maintains,
processes, edits, and combines the data from carriers and compares it to the data from
payroll offices.
Direct Premium Remittance System (DPRS) – A centralized system for billing and
collecting health insurance premiums from eligible non-Federal enrollees in the Federal
Employees Health Benefits Program.
Human Resources Systems (HRD) – NFC Human Resource application systems
include:
EmpowHR – a Human Capital Management System that enables agencies to: (1) Make
critical decisions concerning workforce utilization; (2) Forecast workforce turnover and
placement; and (3) Project future resource budget allocations on a fiscal year basis, for
optimum achievement of agency mission goals.
Employee Personal Page/ Employee Self-Service (EPP/ESS) – The EPP/ESS is a
Web-based application that allows employees to perform self-service activities associated
with payroll or personnel information. Specifically, employees have the ability to make online
change requests to their residence address, Federal and State tax withholding, financial
allotments, direct deposit, health insurance, savings bond, and Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)
contribution information effective for a current or future pay period.
Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI) – EHRI is an Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) online services initiative to maintain data warehouse and personnel
information for an agency to conduct workload analysis, staffing projections, and other
resource management analysis. NFC works with OPM on behalf of its customers to provide
data feeds to EHRI.
Electronic Official Folder (eOPF) System – The eOPF system provides the capability of
imaging current documents maintained in an employee's personnel folder thus allowing an
agency and employee online access to this data. As new actions are processed, electronic
files can be provided from the personnel and payroll systems used by an agency to update
eOPF with the latest data for an employee. NFC provides these files to eOPF for the
participating agencies that are pay rolled by NFC.

Travel Reporting and Integrated Projections System (TRIPS)
TRIPS (Travel Reporting and Integrated Projection System) is an Intranet based system for FNS regions to manage
their travel funds. This version of TRIPS uses Microsoft’s ASP.NET and a SQL Server database. It is much quicker
than the Excel version of the system and will provide more reporting capabilities.
Both NPA and special account travel funds may be projected and tracked through TRIPS. Regional users can project
travel either manually or through the Travel Estimator. Individual and blanket travel authorization numbers are used
to identify projected and actual travel. TRIPS features a new capability that will automatically generate the Region’s
next 202 number for users if this option is chosen.
Each region will only have access to their regional travel information. Program users (both editors and viewers) in
each region have access to their NPA account and special accounts. Program editors manage their projected travel.
Regional users (FM editors) have editing and/or viewing access to all of their regional data. The Regional editors
update TRIPS with actual travel as it occurs, moving it from projected to actual. A Local System Administrator will
have the capability to edit the per diem and POV tables, change the tab or button order, and perform other
administrative tasks.

In order to receive access to TRIPS account, you must first have a Level 2 Eauthentication ID and
Password.
Once the level 2 ID is obtained you must complete an FNS-674 form.

Treasury Offset Program (TOP) Operations
The Treasury Offset Program (TOP) is housed at the U. S. Department of the
Treasury. TOP is a system whereby Treasury will offset eligible Federal payments to
collect a delinquent debt owed to a creditor agency (i.e., FNS). The offset payment will
be sent to the creditor agency to satisfy the debt. Treasury provides specified file
layouts for agencies to use for sending batch files to Treasury. FNS’ role is the receipt
and consolidation or separation of batch files to/from States and Treasury. FNS does
not have a TOP system such as an accounting system or personnel system. FNS
simply passes data between States and Treasury. FNS uses utility programs at
National Information Technology Center (NITC) to perform this process and Microsoft
Office on the Local Area Network (LAN) to format reports used in the analysis of data.
State agencies establish claims for over-issued food stamp benefits. These claims are
eligible for collection through TOP.
[NOTE: Users must obtain an NITC ID in order to access the TOP System.
Systems that require NITC access are:
(1) Management Initiatives Tracking System (MITS) - MITS is an interactive, webbased performance measure tracking application system designed to collect, analyze, and

Store Tracking and Redemption System (STARS )
STARS is the national database for retailer management for the supplemental Nutritional
Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP retailer operations are administered through a
headquarters organization, 7 regional offices and 52 field offices. In addition Thirty-nine
(39) out-stationed compliance investigators report to FNS Headquarters, Alexandria, VA,
through 4 compliance area offices. These organizations are responsible for managing the
benefit redemption functions of the SNAP. Cooperating state and local agencies perform
benefit eligibility and issuance functions, with FNS oversight.
STARS Provides primary automated support for the SNAP benefit redemption functions.
Broad responsibilities for public administration are reflected in the composition of the
STARS users. There are more than 1,000 STARS IDs issued for direct access to add,
delete, and update data and to inquire the status of store redemptions, authorizations and
investigations for the approximately 216,000 grocery stores and specialized meal services
authorized to deliver food assistance in return for electronic benefits. These users include,
but are not limited to, the officials responsible for SNAP administration and investigation in
FNS and in the USDA Office of the Inspector General (OIG), in FSP State agencies as
well as the State agencies administering the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
Program.
Users of the following related system also require STARS access, however access for
each system must be requested separately:
Women, Infant and Children – The Integrity Profile (WIC-TIP) – WIC serves to
safeguard the health of low-income women, infants, and children up to age five who are at
nutritional risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy
eating, and referrals to health care.

Women, Infant and Children – The Integrity Profile (WIC-TIP)
This System Design Document describes the technical design that implements the
functional requirements specified in the TIP Functional Requirements Document. The TIP
application consists of two major components: the spreadsheet application and the Web
(database) application. This document provides the design detail for these components
and their supporting modules. In accordance with program regulations, WIC State
agencies annually report their vendor management and monitoring efforts to FNS through
TIP. TIP is a data collection and reporting format that summarizes program violations by
vendors, safeguards that exist to ensure that program goals are met, and State agency
actions to prevent, detect and eliminate fraud and abuse by vendors. The TIP application
is a fully operational database that enables WIC State agencies to enter or download TIP
data from their Management Information Systems (MIS) directly into a centralized
database via the Internet. . This application replaces the current process of State agencies
sending data in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word format and includes on-screen edits to
prevent data entry errors from occurring, and security features that allow only authorized
State and Federal staff to access the TIP data. The application also includes Web-based
training to assist Federal and State staff when using the TIP application.
To gain access to the WIC-TIP system complete an FNS-674 as described by the
information above in the STARS instructions with the exception of block 14 you will replace

WIC Management Evaluation Tools: (WIC-ME-TOOLS)
Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) conducts reviews of the States’ Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) management evaluation (ME) review system and processes.
A State ME review is one of the State’s most important management tools in evaluating
administration of SNAP at the local level. State agencies are required to ensure that
project areas operate SNAP in compliance with provisions of FNS regulations. Information
collected by the State during the local level review shows how the local office is applying
policies and procedures including ensuring access to the program. FNS reviews assess
the adequacy of the State’s ME review process and methodology.
Program regulations at 7 CFR 275.8 provide that States shall review the national target
areas specified by FNS. Requirements for review of the State ME procedures are
established in the SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 275.3. This guidance document provides
the regions with procedures and tools to conduct reviews of State ME systems and
processes. It may be used in conjunction with other review guides
