Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    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.
