    Summary of Collection: The legislative basis for the operation of

Nutrition Act of 2008. State agencies are required to perform Quality 
Control (QC) reviews for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

Procedural Case Action Review Schedule.
    Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information to 
record data in negative case reviews. Case and Procedural cases include 
the denial, termination or suspension of benefits. If the information

invalid denials, terminations or suspensions; nor would we be able to 
identify related policy improvements to ensure program integrity.
