Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Evaluation of Technology
Modernization for SNAP Benefit
Redemption through Online
Transactions.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: Section 4011
of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (The
Farm Bill) mandated by Congress that
the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)
conduct an Electronic Benefits Transfer
Online Purchasing Pilot (referred to in
this document as the SNAP Online
Purchasing Pilot) to test the feasibility
and implications of allowing retail food
stores to accept Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits
through online transactions. The Farm
Bill provided FNS and its stakeholders
an opportunity to begin modernizing
benefit redemption through online
purchasing for SNAP.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS
seeks to learn how the seven retailer
pilots operate, the implementation
challenges and lessons learned, the
characteristics of SNAP online
customers, the risks and benefits of
online purchasing for the integrity of
SNAP, and the requirements for
expansion. The results of this evaluation
will inform FNS’ decisions about how to
make SNAP online purchases more
widely available, how to ensure the
accessibility and quality of online
purchases, and how to ensure that
protections against abuse remain strong
or grow stronger. Ultimately, the
findings from this evaluation will help
FNS in setting new requirements,
policies, and procedures for
authorization of online retailers.
