Program Repayment Demand and
Program Disqualification
OMB Number: 0584–0492
Form Number: None
SUMMARY:
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Expiration Date: September 30, 2014
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 13(b) of the Food
and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended
(7 U.S.C. 2022(b)), and Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
regulations at 7 CFR 273.18(a)(2) require
State agencies to initiate collection
action against households that have
been overissued benefits. To initiate
collection action, State agencies must
provide an affected household with
written notification informing the
household of the claim and demanding
repayment. This process is automated in
most State agencies. Note that for
overissuance claims, this information
collection only covers the activities
associated with initiating collection.
The burden associated with reporting
collections and other claims
management information on form FNS–
209 is covered under currently
approved OMB number 0584–0069,
expiration date 9/30/2015. The burden
associated with referring delinquent
claims and receiving collections through
the Treasury Offset Program is covered
under currently approved OMB number
0584–0446, expiration date 4/30/2016.
SNAP regulations at 7 CFR
273.16(a)(1) require State agencies to
investigate any case of suspected fraud
and, where applicable, make an
intentional Program violation (IPV)
determination either administratively or
judicially. Notifications and activities
involved in the IPV process include:
• 7 CFR 273.16(e)(3)—The State
agency providing written notification
informing an individual suspected of
committing an IPV of an impending
administrative disqualification hearing
or court action;
• 7 CFR 273.16(f)(2) and
273.16(h)(2)—An individual opting to
accept the disqualification and waiving
the right to an administrative
disqualification hearing or court action
by signing either a waiver to an
administrative disqualification hearing
or a disqualification consent agreement
in cases of deferred adjudication and
returning it to the State agency; and
• 7 CFR 273.16(e)(9)—Once a
determination is made regarding an IPV,
the State agency sending notification to
the affected individual of the action
taken on the administrative
disqualification hearing or court
decision.
SNAP regulations at 7 CFR
273.16(i)(4) require State agencies to use
disqualified recipient data to ascertain
the correct penalty for IPVs, based on
prior disqualifications. State agencies
determine this by accessing and
reviewing records located in the
