SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Enhancing Food Stamp
Certification: Food Stamp
Modernization Efforts.
OMB Number: Not Yet Assigned.
Expiration Date: To be determined.
Type of Request: New collection of
information.
Abstract: Over the past decade,
increased awareness of the importance
of the FSP as a basic safety net as well
as a critical work support has led to a
variety of efforts to expand eligibility,
increase program access and reengineer
the FSP. At the same time, States are
also focusing on ways to increase
operational and administrative
efficiency and program integrity.
In an effort to document and
understand the range of efforts States
are employing to enhance the FSP
certification process and to modernize
FSP administration, FNS plans to
develop a comprehensive, national
inventory of FSP modernization efforts
undertaken in all the States; document
key features and outcomes associated
with food stamp modernization;
systematically describe and compare
techniques States are using to
modernize the FSP; identify promising
practices; and create a single,
comprehensive information source on
State modernization initiatives. Results
of this study will inform FNS policy
discussions, provide technical and
procedurally relevant information to

States, and provide a comprehensive
and centralized source of information
for assessing ways to improve food
stamp certification and responding
efficiently to the variety of stakeholder
queries received.
Specifically, the study will focus on
four types of modernization efforts:
policy changes to modernize FSP
application, case management, and
recertification procedures; reengineering
of administrative functions; increased or
enhanced use of technology; and
partnering arrangements with
businesses and nonprofit organizations.
The study will examine the impact of
these modernization efforts on four
types of outcomes: program access,
administrative cost, program integrity,
and customer services.
To address these objectives, the study
will implement a survey of all 50 States
(and the District of Columbia, Guam,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands) that
includes State and local FSP
administrators and community
organizations and for-profit
organizations assisting State
modernization efforts. Data will also be
obtained through: (1) Descriptive case
studies incorporating qualitative data
through interviews with local and Statelevel staff as well as community
organizations and for-profit contractors;
(2) discussion groups with food stamp
participants and eligible nonparticipants and (3) a limited number of
brief in-person exit interviews with food
stamp applicants and participants. The
study will rely on extant data to
describe FSP performance before and
after the implementation of State
modernization efforts with respect to
application approval rates, participation
rates, payment accuracy, administrative
costs and other outcomes.
Survey, interview and focus group
questions will be kept as simple and
respondent-friendly as possible.
Responses to all questions will be
voluntary. The Food and Nutrition
Service will take the following steps to
treat the data provided in a confidential
manner: (1) No data will be released in
a form that identifies individual
respondents by name and (2)
information collected through
interviews will be combined across
other respondents in the same category
and reported in aggregate form.
Respondents will be notified of the
confidentiality measures during data
collection.
Affected Public: Staff involved in or
knowledgeable about modernization
efforts at the State level, including FSP
directors, policy and operations staff,
Management Information System (MIS)
and data reporting staff and call center

staff; staff from local food stamp offices;

stamp modernization efforts,

stamp modernization efforts, food stamp
applicants and participants, and eligible

respondents, 14 will be respondents
twice (once to a survey and once to an
in-person interview) and the rest will

respondents twice and the rest will
