Section 824 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) establishes a time limit for the receipt of Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for able-bodied adults without dependents. In order to obtain and evaluate waivers for this provision, State agencies must submit sufficient supporting information so that the Secretary of Agriculture can make the required determination as to an area's unemployment rate or its insufficient number of jobs.

Changing Regulations
This is a proposed revision of a currently approved collection based on proposed regulatory changes. The current OMB burden inventory is 1,198 and 36 total annual responses. FNS is requesting 1,008 total burden annual hours and 36 total annual response. FNS is proposing to revise the standards for waiver approvals to better align with the Administration’s focus on self-sufficiency. The proposed rule would eliminate the ability of States to request waivers for areas that are not economically tied together, eliminate simply being designated as LSA as a criterion for approval, limit the use of alternative economic indicators to areas for which standard data is limited or unavailable, such as Indian Reservations and U.S. Territories, and provide clarity for States on the waiver request process. The proposed changes would ensure waivers are used to provide targeted relief and would ensure that the ABAWD time limit is used to encourage SNAP participants find and keep work when jobs are sufficiently available. These program changes would result in a decrease from 35 hours to 28 hours to complete and submit each response. In addition, under the current collection, FNS estimated 43 States would submit waiver requests; FNS now anticipates approximately 36 States will submit waiver requests, which is a decrease of 7 annual responses.
