Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): Eligibility,
Certification, and Employment and Training Provisions of the Food,
Conservation and Energy Act of 2008
AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), USDA.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule amends the SNAP regulations to update
procedures for accessing SNAP benefits in drug addiction or alcoholic
treatment centers (DAA treatment centers) and group living arrangements
(GLAs) through electronic benefit transfer (EBT). The final rule
implements the changes indicated in the proposed rule, but never
finalized, regarding accessing SNAP benefits in these centers, but does
not incorporate any of the substantive changes in the interim final
rule regarding how benefits are returned to clients departing these
centers due to adverse comments received on the interim final rule.
This final rule also implements provisions of the Food, Conservation
and Energy Act of 2008 regarding nomenclature changes to reflect the
electronic issuance of benefits through EBT at these centers. RIN 0584-
AE54 is a continuation of the prior rulemakings published under RIN
0584-AD87.
DATES: This final rule is effective April 22, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 4, 2011, the Department published a proposed rule (76 FR
25414) that would revise 7 CFR part 273 to change the program name from
the Food Stamp Program to SNAP and make other nomenclature changes in
conformance with Section 4001 of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act
of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246). As part of these nomenclature changes, the
Department also proposed to revise[thinsp]Sec. 273.11(e) and (f) to
remove references to paper coupons and to update the procedures for
providing benefits via EBT cards to residents of drug addiction or
alcoholic treatment and rehabilitation programs (DAA treatment centers)
and residents of group living arrangements (GLAs). Prior to the
implementation of EBT, such centers were required to redeem residents'
paper coupons through authorized food stores. Under EBT systems, both
DAA treatment centers and GLAs may be authorized as retailers in order
to redeem benefits directly through a financial institution. The
institutions may also use an aggregate EBT card, or may use individual
EBT cards at authorized stores if the center is the household's
authorized representative. The Department proposed to update the
regulatory description to conform with current EBT processes.
Commenters responding to the nomenclature changes in the proposed
rule recommended additional substantive revisions to Sec. 273.11(e)
and (f) to better protect the rights of SNAP clients who are residents
of DAA treatment centers and GLAs when these clients leave these
establishments. Accordingly, in addition to finalizing the nomenclature
updates for those particular provisions, the final rule Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): Eligibility, Certification, and
Employment and Training Provisions of the Food, Conservation and Energy
Act of 2008, published January 6, 2017 (82 FR 2010), included an
interim final rule with amendments to 7 CFR 273.11(e) and (f) to revise
the procedures for when SNAP clients leave DAA treatment centers or
GLAs. Specifically, the interim final rule mandated that DAA treatment
centers and GLAs return EBT cards to residents with benefits pro-rated
based on the date of their departure, submit complete change report
forms to the State agency when a resident leaves, and notify the State
agency within 5 days if unable to provide the resident with their EBT
card at departure.
The initial comment period for this interim final rule was 60 days.
Consistent with the memorandum of January 20, 2017, to the heads of
executive departments and agencies from the Assistant to the President
and Chief of Staff, entitled ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review'', the
comment period for the interim final rule was extended from ending on
March 7, 2017, to April 6, 2017. The effective date for the interim
final rule was delayed to June 5, 2017.
Comments on the Interim Final Rule
FNS received five comments in response to the interim final rule.
Four of the comments were from State agencies and one comment was
outside the scope of the interim final rule. All four germane comments
were adverse.
Commenters indicated significant logistical and operational
difficulties to comply with the provisions as written and, as a result,
the Department has concluded that more research and stakeholder
outreach must be done in this area before requirements for these
centers are finalized.
The interim final rule required that when a household leaves a GLA
or DAA treatment center, the GLA or DAA treatment center must return a
prorated amount of the departing household's monthly allotment back to
the household's EBT account based on the number of days in the month
that the household resided at the center. Three commenters noted that
GLAs and DAA treatment centers are not required by regulations to be
authorized as SNAP retailers or to have EBT point-of-sale (POS) devices
that would facilitate such action. As such, they expressed concern as
to how centers without EBT POS devices would be able to return benefits
once SNAP clients were no longer residents. One of these commenters, a
State agency, indicated that while it supported the return of pro-rated
benefits to households, the State had no DAA treatment centers or GLAs
authorized as retailers in the State and thus there would be no
functional way to implement the rule as written. Another commenter
noted that proration is not an automatic function
[[Page 4678]]
for EBT systems and, therefore, proration would have to be manually
completed by even those GLAs or DAA treatment centers with POS devices,
which could potentially be error-prone.
The Department acknowledges that the interim final rule does not
accurately reflect the operationalization of benefit redemptions in
GLAs and DAA treatment centers that are not authorized retailers, and
would cause undue hardship in requiring every GLA and DAA treatment
center to become an authorized retailer. The Department acknowledges it
was not its intent to require all GLAs and DAA treatment centers to
become authorized SNAP retailers, but that the interim final rule as
written would have required this of the centers in order for them to
meet the requirements outlined in the rule in a practical manner. Due
to the negative response, the Department is not finalizing the
substantive amendments contained in the interim final rule.
Changes to Sec. 273.11 in the Final Rule
This rule only finalizes the statutorily mandated nomenclature
changes and procedures for Sec. 273.11(e) and (f), as well as the
paragraph removals, redesignations and technical revisions as outlined
in the department's proposed rule issued on May 4, 2011. The Department
received no comments that addressed these changes alone. The changes to
procedures in Sec. 273.11(e) and (f) are codifying existing policy.
The Department is also making changes throughout Sec. 273.11(e) to
ensure consistent nomenclature in referring to DAA treatment centers,
removing references to ``DAA centers'' or ``DAAs'' and replacing these
with ``DAA treatment centers'', and clarifying that ``DAA treatment
centers'' refers to publicly operated or private non-profit drug addict
or alcoholic treatment and rehabilitation programs. The proposed rule's
paragraph removals, redesignations and revisions that were
substantially unchanged and codified by the interim final rule are not
amended further here.
Future Steps and Guidance on This Provision
The Department still intends to further assess the operations of
GLAs and DAA treatment centers and remains interested in enhancing
protections when clients leave a GLA or DAA treatment center. However,
the Department intends to consult with State agencies and other
stakeholders in order to determine the most appropriate changes for
future rulemaking on this topic. The Department will conduct a holistic
review of GLAs and DAA treatment centers that are authorized retailers
as well as those that are not authorized retailers to better understand
current operational procedures, and work with all stakeholders to
determine what appropriate changes should be made in rulemaking based
on existing processes and technology. The Department appreciates the
concerns for client access and GLA and DAA treatment center
responsibility raised by commenters in both the proposed and interim
final rules, and will take them into consideration while conducting its
review of GLA and DAA treatment center procedures. During this time,
GLA and DAA treatment centers will continue to follow the procedures as
outlined in this final rule and residents who depart these facilities
will continue to receive some benefits depending on the time of month
of their departure.
Procedural Matters
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility.
This final rule has been determined to be significant and was reviewed
by the Office of Management and Budget in conformance with Executive
Order 12866.
Executive Orders 13771
Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to reduce regulation and
control regulatory costs and provides that the cost of planned
regulations be prudently managed and controlled through a budgeting
process. FNS considers this rule to be an Executive Order 13771
deregulatory action.
Regulatory Impact Analysis
A Regulatory Impact Analysis must be prepared for rules with
economically significant effects ($100 million or more in any one
year). USDA does not anticipate that this final rule is likely to have
an economic impact of $100 million or more in any one year, and
therefore, does not meet the definition of ``economically significant''
under Executive Order 12866. Provisions of this rule do not affect the
level of benefits paid to SNAP participants who reside in these
facilities. The Department estimates that removing the substantive
provisions of the interim final rule will result in a savings of $2.6
million annually and $13 million over five years in administrative
costs to federal and State governments and DAA treatment centers and
GLAs operating as authorized SNAP retailers.
The interim final rule provisions would have inadvertently required
additional DAA treatment centers and GLAs to become SNAP-authorized
retailers. Under provisions of the Food and Nutrition Act, operators of
GLAs and DAAs that would have become newly-authorized SNAP retailers
under the interim final rule provisions would be eligible for free EBT-
only point-of-sale (POS) devices. Estimated cost of providing equipment
to newly authorized DAA treatment centers and GLAs is $540 per year per
retailer; this cost would be split evenly between federal and State
governments. The Department estimates that an additional 1,900 DAA
treatment centers or GLAs would have become newly-authorized under the
interim final rule provisions, so the total cost of providing this
equipment to newly-authorized GLAs and DAAs would have been
approximately $1 million per year.
In addition, DAA treatment centers and GLAs will no longer incur
costs related to prorating benefits and submitting reports to State
agencies when residents leave facilities. The Department estimates that
removing this requirement will save GLAs and DAAs approximately $1.6
million annually. There currently are approximately 1,500 DAA treatment
centers and GLAs that are authorized SNAP retailers. As noted above,
the Department estimates that an additional 1,900 DAA treatment centers
and GLAs would have become authorized retailers under the interim final
rule provisions, for a total of about 3,400 (2,100 DAAs and 1,300
GLAs).
Based on annual redemptions of approximately $120 million, the
Department estimates the average currently-authorized DAA serves about
38 SNAP participants per month and the average authorized GLA serves
about 99 SNAP participants per month.\1\ Assuming the average length of
stay for residential treatment facilities is 90 days and the average
length of stay for GLAs is one year, each facility would have
[[Page 4679]]
been required to prorate benefits and report to the State agency
approximately 148 times per year (DAAs) or 99 times per year (GLAs)
under the interim final rule provisions. The Department assumes each
proration/report would take .25 hours at a mean wage of $14.65 for a
health care support worker, or $3.66 per occurrence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In 2016, there were 945 authorized DAAs (who redeemed an
average of $4,185 monthly) and 577 authorized GLAs (who redeemed an
average of $10,828 monthly). To estimate the number of residents per
facility, the monthly redemptions were divided by the fiscal year
2016 average per-person benefit for a household receiving
Supplemental Security Income ($109.49).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612) requires Agencies
to analyze the impact of rulemaking on small entities and consider
alternatives that would minimize any significant impacts on a
substantial number of small entities. Pursuant to that review, the
Administrator of the Food and Nutrition Service certifies that this
final rule does not have a significant impact on a substantial number
of small entities including DAA treatment centers and GLAs. State and
local human service agencies will be the most affected to the extent
that they administer SNAP. The provisions of this final rule are
implemented through State agencies which are not small entities as
defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their
regulatory actions on State, local and tribal governments and the
private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, the Department generally
must prepare a written statement, including a cost benefit analysis,
for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that may result
in expenditures by State, local or tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one
year. When such a statement is needed for a rule, Section 205 of the
UMRA generally requires the Department to identify and consider a
reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt the most cost
effective or least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives
of the rule.
This final rule does not contain Federal mandates (under the
regulatory provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for State, local and
tribal governments or the private sector of $100 million or more in any
one year. Thus, the rule is not subject to the requirements of sections
202 and 205 of the UMRA.
Executive Order 12372
SNAP is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under
No. 10.561. For the reasons set forth in the final rule, Department of
Agriculture Programs and Activities Covered Under Executive Order 12372
(48 FR 29114), the Program is included in the scope of Executive Order
12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and
local officials.
Federalism Summary Impact Statement
Executive Order 13132 requires Federal agencies to consider the
impact of their regulatory actions on State and local governments.
Where such actions have federalism implications, agencies are directed
to provide a statement for inclusion in the preamble to the regulations
describing the agency's considerations in terms of the three categories
called for under Section 6(b)(2)(B) of Executive Order 13132. The
Department has considered the impact of this rule on State and local
governments and has determined that this rule does not have federalism
implications. Therefore, under section 6(b) of the Executive Order, a
federalism summary is not required.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform
This final rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988,
Civil Justice Reform. This rule is not intended to have preemptive
effect with respect to any State or local laws, regulations or policies
which conflict with its provisions or which would otherwise impede its
full and timely implementation. This rule is not intended to have
retroactive effect unless so specified in the Effective Dates section
of the final rule. Prior to any judicial challenge to the provisions of
the final rule, all applicable administrative procedures must be
exhausted.
Civil Rights Impact Analysis
FNS has reviewed this final rule in accordance with USDA Regulation
4300-4, ``Civil Rights Impact Analysis,'' to identify any major civil
rights impacts the rule might have on program participants on the basis
of age, race, color, national origin, sex or disability. After a
careful review of the rule's intent and provisions, FNS has determined
that this rule is not expected to affect the participation of protected
individuals in SNAP.
Further, FNS specifically prohibits the State and local government
agencies that administer the program from engaging in discriminatory
actions. Discrimination in any aspect of program administration is
prohibited by SNAP regulations, the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, the
Age Discrimination Act of 1975, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964. State agencies must comply with these
requirements and the regulations at 7 CFR 272.6.
Executive Order 13175
This rule has been reviewed in accordance with the requirements of
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments. Executive Order 13175 requires Federal agencies to consult
and coordinate with tribes on a government-to-government basis on
policies that have tribal implications, including regulations,
legislative comments or proposed legislation, and other policy
statements or actions that have substantial direct effects on one or
more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government
and Indian tribes or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
FNS has assessed the impact of this rule on Indian tribes and
determined that this rule does not, to its knowledge, have tribal
implications that require tribal consultation under Executive Order
13175. If a Tribe requests consultation, the FNS will work with the
Office of Tribal Relations to ensure meaningful consultation is
provided where changes, additions and modifications identified herein
are not expressly mandated by Congress.
Currently, FNS provides regularly scheduled quarterly information
sessions as a venue for collaborative conversations with Tribal
officials or their designees. Reports from these information sessions
are put on the USDA annual reporting on Tribal consultation and
collaboration. FNS received no comments with Indian Tribes on either
the proposed rule or the interim final rule that related to these
provisions.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chap. 35; 5 CFR
1320) requires the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve all
collections of information by a Federal agency before they can be
implemented. Respondents are not required to respond to any collection
of information unless it displays a current valid OMB control number.
This rule does not contain information collection requirements
subject to approval by the Office of Management and Budget under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1994.
E-Government Act Compliance
The Department is committed to complying with the E-Government Act
[[Page 4680]]
of 2002, Public Law 107-347, to promote the use of the internet and
other information technologies to provide increased opportunities for
citizen access to Government information and services, and for other
purposes.

The revisions and additions read as follows:
Sec. 273.11 Action on households with special circumstances.
* * * * *
(e) * * * (1) Narcotic addicts or alcoholics who regularly
participate in publicly operated or private non-profit drug addict or
alcoholic treatment and rehabilitation programs (DAA treatment centers)
on a resident basis may voluntarily apply for SNAP. Applications must
be made through an authorized representative who is employed by the DAA
treatment center and designated by the center for that purpose. The
State agency may require the household to designate the DAA treatment
center as its authorized representative for the purpose of receiving
and using an allotment on behalf of the household. Residents must be
certified as one-person households unless their children are living
with them, in which case their children must be included in the
household with the parent.
* * * * *
(5) DAA treatment centers may redeem benefits in various ways
depending on the State's EBT system design. The designs may include DAA
treatment center use of individual household EBT cards at authorized
stores, authorization of DAA treatment centers as retailers with EBT
access via POS at the center, DAA treatment center use of a center EBT
card that is an aggregate of individual household benefits, and other
designs. Regardless of the process elected, the State must ensure that
the EBT design or DAA treatment center procedures prohibit the DAA
treatment center from obtaining more than one-half of the household's
allotment prior to the 16th of the month or permit the return of
benefits to the household's EBT account through a refund, transfer, or
other means. Guidelines for approval of EBT systems are contained in
part 274 of this chapter.
(6) When a household leaves the DAA treatment center, the center
must perform the following:
(i) Notify the State agency. If possible, the center must provide
the household with a change report form to report to the State agency
the household's new address and other circumstances after leaving the
center and must advise the household to return the form to the
appropriate office of the State agency within 10 days. After the
household leaves the DAA treatment center, the center can no longer act
as the household's authorized representative for certification purposes
or for obtaining or using benefits.
(ii) Provide the household with its EBT card if it was in the
possession of the DAA treatment center. The DAA treatment center must
return to the State agency any EBT card not provided to departing
residents by the end of each month.
(iii) If no benefits have been spent on behalf of the individual
household, the center must return the full value of any benefits
already debited from the household's current monthly allotment back
into the household's EBT account at the time the household leaves the
center.
(iv) If the benefits have already been debited from the EBT account
and any portion spent on behalf of the household, the following
procedures must be followed.
(A) If the household leaves prior to the 16th day of the month, the
center must ensure that the household has one-half of its monthly
benefit allotment remaining in its EBT account unless the State agency
issues semi-monthly allotments and the second half has not been posted
yet.
(B) If the household leaves on or after the 16th day of the month,
the State agency, at its option, may require the center to give the
household a portion of its allotment. If the center is authorized as a
retailer, the State agency may require the center to provide a refund
for that amount back to the household's EBT account at the time that
the household leaves the center. Under an EBT system where the center
has an aggregate EBT card, the State agency may, but is not required
to, transfer a portion of the household's monthly allotment from a
center's EBT account back to the household's EBT account. In either
case, the household, not the center, must be allowed to have sole
access to any benefits remaining in the household's EBT account at the
time the household leaves the center.
(v) If the household has already left the DAA treatment center, and
as a result, the DAA treatment center is unable to return the benefits
in accordance with this paragraph (e)(6), the DAA treatment center must
advise the State agency, and the State agency must effect the return
instead. These procedures are applicable at any time during the month.
* * * * *
(f) * * *
(5) When the household leaves the facility, the GLA, either acting
as an authorized representative or retaining use of the EBT card and
benefits on behalf of the residents (regardless of the method of
application), shall return the EBT card (if applicable) to the
household. The household, not the GLA, shall have sole access to any
benefits remaining in the household's EBT account at the time the
household leaves the facility. The State agency must ensure that the
EBT design or procedures for GLAs permit the GLA to
[[Page 4681]]
return unused benefits to the household through a refund, transfer, or
other means.
(6) If, at the time the household leaves, no benefits have been
spent on behalf of that individual household, the facility must return
the full value of any benefits already debited from the household's
current monthly allotment back into the household's EBT account. These
procedures are applicable at any time during the month. However, if the
facility has already debited benefits and spent any portion of them on
behalf of the individual, the facility shall do the following:
(i) If the household leaves the GLA prior to the 16th day of the
month, the facility shall provide the household with its EBT card (if
applicable) and one-half of its monthly benefit allotment. Where a
group of residents has been certified as one household and a member of
the household leaves the center:
(A) The facility shall return a pro rata share of one-half of the
household's benefit allotment to the EBT account and advise the State
agency that the individual is entitled to that pro rata share; and
(B) The State agency shall create a new EBT account for the
individual, issue a new EBT card and transfer the pro rata share from
the original household's EBT account to the departing individual's EBT
account. The facility will instruct the individual on how to obtain the
new EBT card based on the State agency's card issuance procedures.
(ii) If the household or an individual member of the group
household leaves on or after the 16th day of the month and the benefits
have already been debited and used, the household or individual does
not receive any benefits.
(iii) The GLA shall return to the State agency any EBT cards not
provided to departing residents at the end of each month. Also, if the
household has already left the facility and as a result, the facility
is unable to perform the refund or transfer in accordance with this
paragraph (f)(5), the facility must advise the State agency, and the
State agency must effect the return or transfer instead.
(iv) Once the resident leaves, the GLA no longer acts as his/her
authorized representative. The GLA, if possible, shall provide the
household with a change report form to report to the State agency the
individual's new address and other circumstances after leaving the GLA
and shall advise the household to return the form to the appropriate
office of the State agency within 10 days.
* * * * *
(8) If the residents are certified on their own behalf, the
benefits may either be debited by the GLA to be used to purchase meals
served either communally or individually to eligible residents or
retained by the residents and used to purchase and prepare food for
their own consumption. * * *
