Program (SNAP) and further amended
the NSLA to require, beginning with SY

does not meet the benchmark for a
particular school year develop, submit,
and implement a continuous
improvement plan (CIP) to fully meet
the benchmarks and to improve direct
certification for the following school
year.
FNS must calculate the direct
certification rates for States and

determine which States will need to
submit CIPs. To calculate these direct
certification rates, FNS annually collects
specific direct certification data

I. Abstract
The U.S. Census Bureau plans to
request a general clearance for acquiring
State administrative records in order to
improve efficiency and accuracy in our
data collections, and to improve
measures of the population and
economy. The Census Bureau has
undertaken research projects to integrate
and link State administrative records
with Census Bureau data from current
surveys and censuses.
The Census Bureau uses the State
administrative records linked with other
survey and census records to conduct
further research and improve operations
with surveys and censuses, including
2020 Census Operations. The Census
Bureau benefits from these projects by
improving data quality and estimates, as
well as studies of program participation
over time. State data providers have
benefited through access to tabulated
data and reports to better understand
the demographic characteristics of
program participants and to administer
their programs.
