payments and providers’ Medicare
costs) and analyze data to formulate
Medicare Program recommendations to
Congress. Form Number: CMS–1984–14

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; ‘‘State SNAP Agency NDNH
Matching Program Performance
Report’’ (OMB No.: 0970–0464)
Office of Child Support
Enforcement, Administration for
Children and Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting the federal Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approve the ‘‘State SNAP Agency NDNH
Matching Program Performance Report,’’
with minor revisions, for an additional
three years. State agencies administering
their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) provide the annual
performance report to OCSE in
accordance with the computer matching
agreement between state SNAP agencies
and OCSE. The current OMB approval
expires on February 28, 2022.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: To submit comments and
obtain copies of the proposed collection
SUMMARY:
of information, email infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Alternatively, copies are
obtainable by writing to the
Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation (OPRE), 330 C Street
SW, Washington, DC 20201, Attn: ACF
Reports Clearance Officer. Identify all
requests, emailed or written, by the title
of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: State agencies
administering SNAP are mandated to
participate in a computer matching
program with the federal OCSE. The
matching program compares SNAP
applicant and recipient information
with employment and wage information
maintained in the National Directory of
New Hires (NDNH). The outcomes of
the compared information help state
SNAP agencies with verifying and
determining an individual’s benefit
eligibility. To receive NDNH
information, state agencies enter into a
computer matching agreement and
adhere to its terms and conditions,
including providing OCSE with annual
performance outcomes that are
attributable to the use of NDNH
information.
To fulfill OMB requirements, OCSE
periodically reports performance
measurements demonstrating how the
use of information in the NDNH
supports OCSE’s strategic mission,
goals, and objectives. OCSE will provide
the annual SNAP performance outcomes
to OMB.
Respondents: State SNAP Agencies.
