Title: FNS-380-1 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's Quality Control Review Schedule.

Form Number: FNS 380-1.

OMB Control Number: 0584-0299.

Expiration Date: September 30, 2026.

Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: The FNS-380-1, Quality Control Review Schedule, was developed by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) for State use to collect both Quality Control (QC) data and case characteristics for SNAP and to serve as the comprehensive data entry form for SNAP QC reviews. As required by the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended (the Act), FNS is required to collect QC data and State agencies are required to perform QC reviews for SNAP. The legislative basis for the QC system is in Section 16 of the Act. Part 275, Subpart C, of SNAP regulations implements the legislative mandates found in Section 16. The regulatory basis for the QC reporting requirements is provided by 7 CFR 275.14(d) and 7 CFR 275.21. The information needed to complete this form is obtained from the SNAP case record, through State agency quality control interviews with households and collateral contacts, data matches, and verification documents obtained during the QC review. The information is used to monitor and reduce errors, develop policy strategies, and analyze household data.
