SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Food
and Nutrition Service published a final
rule on April 15, 2019, (84 FR 15083),
that implements four sections of the
Agricultural Act of 2014 affecting
eligibility, benefits, and program
administration requirements for the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP). This document makes
a technical correction to add the burden
on SNAP individuals/households to
report lottery or gambling winnings to
State SNAP agencies to the burden
details below based on a prior estimate
in IC 0584–0064. It is estimated that a
total of 27,500 participants, or 550
SNAP participants per State, will spend
a total of 4,593 hours at a rate of .167
hours per response to report their
substantial winnings to the State SNAP
agency at a rate of $7.25 per hour for a
total estimated cost of $33,296 for all
respondents annually. FNS utilized the
estimate of .167 hours to report a change
based on a prior estimate in IC 0584–
0064 on how long it takes a household
to complete a simplified periodic report.
FNS is not including the burden on
SNAP individuals/households to
reapply for benefits should they become
eligible again. Since individuals/
