Updated: Feb 28, 2025
Summary
This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to require the Secretary of Agriculture to provide a 60-day public comment period for any new or updated guidance concerning quality control reviews for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This mandate applies to guidance proposing substantive changes that would necessitate state agencies to alter their systems, procedures, or staffing related to quality control reviews. It also covers guidance impacting verification requirements for SNAP recipients. The purpose is to ensure public and stakeholder input before such significant guidance is finalized. An exception allows the Secretary to issue interim final guidance simultaneously with the notice and comment period in situations of urgent and immediate need.
