    Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Repayment Demand 
and Program Disqualification.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0492.
    Summary of Collection: Section 13(b) of the Food and Nutrition Act 
of 2008, as amended (7 U.S.C. 2202(b)), and Supplemental Nutrition 
Assistance Program (SNAP) regulations at 7 CFR 273.18(a)(2) require 
State agencies to initiate collection action. State agencies must 
provide an affected household with written notification informing the 
over-issued household of the claim and demanding repayment.
    Need and Use of the Information: State agency personnel will 
collect the information from individuals collecting SNAP benefits. The 
State agencies must maintain all records associated with this

documentation during compliance reviews and other audits. Without the 
information, FNS would not be able to correct accidental or fraudulent 
overpayment errors in the SNAP Program.

Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 917,619.
