Food and Nutrition Service
Title: The Assessment of Contribution of an Interview to SNAP
Eligibility and Benefit Determination Study
OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) seeks
approval to conduct data collection as part of the Assessment of the
Contributions of an Interview to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) Eligibility and Benefit Determinations. The overall aid
of this evaluation is to examine the impact of eliminating client
interviews at SNAP certification and recertification. A central feature
of the changes is a waiver that allows States to conduct the in-person
eligibility interview over the telephone. Many States have implemented
this interview waiver. Some States have expressed interest in exploring
alternative certification approaches that do not require conducting any
interviews in the SNAP eligibility determination process. However,
little data is available to access the impact of eliminating a
certification interview on client access, customer service, and program
integrity. The authority for this collection in contained in Section 17
[7 U.S.C. 2026](a)(1) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008.
Need and Use of the Information: The study will focus on the
contribution of interviews of the determination of SNAP eligibility and
benefits. The overall purpose of this study is to meet its research
objectives with the precision necessary to inform future SNAP policy.
It will quantify the impact of replacing the in-person interview with
no interview and examine how this affects participation, efficiency,
access, payment accuracy, and client satisfaction.

profit institutions.
