Title: Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program Requirement for
National Directory of New Hires
Employment Verification.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0608.
Summary of Collection: In 2016, an
Interim Final Rule RIN 0584–AE36,
titled ‘‘Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program: Requirement for
National Directory of New Hires
Employment Verification and Annual
Program Activity Reporting,’’ was
published in the Federal Register. This
rule codified section 4013 of the
Agricultural Act of 2014, requiring State
agencies to access employment data
through the National Directory of New
Hires (NDNH) at the time of
certification, including recertification,
to determine eligibility status and
correct benefit amount for SNAP
applicants. The rule also amended
regulations to increase the frequency of
the requirement for State agency
submission of the Program Activity
Statement from an annual requirement
based on the State fiscal year to a
quarterly requirement.
Need and Use of the Information:
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) regulations at 7 CFR
272.16 require that each State agency
must compare identifiable information
about each adult household member
against data from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services’ (HHS)
National Directory of New Hires
(NDNH). This comparison will be used
to determine the eligibility status of the
household and determine the correct
benefit amount the household should
receive. Following OMB approval of this
collection, FNS intends to merge this
collection with OMB control number
0584–0064 and determine which
provisions if any will be maintained in
this collection at a future date.
Verification of Match; Notice of Match
Results: The State agency must
independently verify the information
prior to taking any adverse action
against an individual. Should the State
agency receive employment information
via the NDNH that was previously
unreported by the household, the State
agency must issue a notice of match
results informing the household of the
match and providing them with the
opportunity to verify the information.
The State agency may contact the
employer directly, depending upon
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
applicable reporting requirements as
defined at 7 CFR 273.12.
Notice of Adverse action or Notice of
Denial: The Notice of Adverse Action or
Notice of Denial is issued by State
agencies to participating households
whose benefits will be reduced or
terminated as the result of a change in
household circumstances. Should the
State agency independently verify
unreported or underreported income
discovered through NDNH, and that
income results in a reduction of benefits
or change in eligibility, the State agency
must take action by issuing the
household a Notice of Adverse Action
or Notice of Denial and adjust or deny
benefits accordingly.
Description of Respondents: State and
Local Government, Individuals and
Households.
Number of Respondents:
25,187,665.15.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 3,365,064.98.
