DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families


Submission for OMB Review; ``State SNAP Agency NDNH Matching 
Program Performance Report'' (OMB No.: 0970-0464)

AGENCY: Office of Child Support Enforcement, Administration for 
Children and Families, HHS.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), Administration 
for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting the federal Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approve the ``State SNAP Agency NDNH 
Matching Program Performance Report,'' with minor revisions, for an 
additional three years. State agencies administering their Supplemental 
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provide the annual performance 
report to OCSE in accordance with the computer matching agreement 
between state SNAP agencies and OCSE. The current OMB approval expires 
on February 28, 2022.

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a 
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days 
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, 
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it 
within 30 days of publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: State agencies administering SNAP are mandated to 
participate in a computer matching program with the federal 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 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 that are 
attributable to the use of NDNH information.
    To fulfill OMB requirements, OCSE periodically reports 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.
    Respondents: State SNAP Agencies.
