Abstract: This is a new collection associated with Interim Final Rule: SNAP Requirement for National Directory of New Hires Employment Verification and Program Activity Reporting (RIN 0584-AE36). This information collection package consists of two major components: (1) The National Directory of New Hires SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 272 to require State agencies to access employment data through the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) at the time of certification, including recertification, to determine eligibility status and appropriate benefit amount for SNAP applicants. (2) the Program Activity Statement (FNS 366B) SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 272.2(a) require that State agencies plan and budget program operations and establish objectives for the next year. The basic components of the State Plan of Operation are the Federal/State Agreement, the Budget Projection Statement and the Program Activity Statement.
