6.2. Certification Reporting Post-D-SNAP
Since funding is obligated once benefits are posted to the EBT system, State agencies
will have estimated the amount of benefits to be issued and will have provided this

estimate to the FNS Regional Office financial management staff to ensure that funding
ceilings are not exceeded. States are responsible for compiling and transmitting the
following post-disaster reports in a timely manner.
FNS-292B
Within 45 days of the termination of a D-SNAP

operation, the State agency must submit its final
disaster figures on the FNS-292B Report of

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Benefit

Issuance for Disaster Relief. All reports should be

submitted electronically in the Food Programs

Reporting System (FPRS).

The FNS-292B must contain the following issuance data for D-SNAP operations:
•
•
•
•

Number of Households – new households issued D-SNAP benefits
Total Number of Persons Assisted - new persons issued D-SNAP benefits
Number of Certified Persons - ongoing households issued supplements
Value of Benefits Issued - total of benefits issued to new households and

supplements issued to ongoing households.

The FNS-292B report should not include the value of any replacements issued, as they
are not considered a disaster benefit. States should report the value of replacements

on the FNS 388 Monthly Issuance Report.
