    Title: Quality Control Review Schedule.
    Form Number: FNS 380-1.

    Abstract: The FNS-380-1, Quality Control Review Schedule (QCRS), 
was developed by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) for State use to 
collect both QC data and case characteristics for SNAP and to serve as 
the comprehensive data entry form for SNAP QC reviews. The legislative 
basis for the QC system is in Section 16 of the Food and Nutrition Act 
of 2008, as amended (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. State agencies are required to perform QC reviews for 
SNAP. The information needed to complete this form is obtained from the 
SNAP case record through State agency quality control findings. The 
information is used to monitor and reduce errors, develop policy 
strategies, and analyze household characteristic data.
