The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service today unveiled a proposed rule that would allow it to hold back the payments to food stores that face disqualification from the SNAP, formerly food stamp, program because of alleged fraudulent activity like trafficking in SNAP benefits.
Interested parties have until April 23 to comment on the proposed action by FNS. The agency is interested in receiving comment from states and EBT processors on the impact this change may have on states and the companies that process EBT transactions for them, according to the notice of public comment.
In addition to other information, FNS is looking for comment regarding any system changes, the costs of those changes and the timetable for completing them.
Anyone interested in commenting on the proposed rule can access the notice in the Federal Register.
The proposed rule is the latest in a string of actions by FNS to target and eliminate fraud in the SNAP program.
