Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Matching
Program Performance Outcomes.
OMB No. 0970-0464.
Description: State agencies administering the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are mandated to participate in a
computer matching program with the federal Office of Child Support
Enforcement (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 administering the
program and 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 attributable
to the use of NDNH information.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requires OCSE to
periodically report 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.
The information collection activities for the SNAP performance
outcomes reports are authorized by: (1) Subsection 453(j)(10) of the
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 653(j)(10)), which allows the Secretary
of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to disclose
information maintained in the NDNH to state agencies administering SNAP
under the Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended by the Agriculture Act of
2014; (2) the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended by the Computer Matching
and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (5 U.S.C. 552a), which sets forth
the terms and conditions of a computer matching program; and, (3) the
Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111-352), which requires agencies to report program performance
outcomes to the Office of Management and Budget and for the reports to
be available to the public.
Respondents: State SNAP Agencies.
