Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Reporting of 
Lottery and Gambling, and Resource Verification.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0621.
    Summary of Collection: In accordance with Section 4009 of the 
Agricultural Act of 2014, households in which members receive 
substantial lottery and gambling winnings are ineligible for SNAP until 
they meet allowable financial resources and income eligibility 
requirements. Substantial winnings are defined as winnings that are 
equal to or greater than the resource limit for elderly or disabled 
households as defined in 7 CFR 273.8(b). States are also required to 
work cooperatively with entities responsible for gaming in their State 
to identify individuals and households with substantial winnings. SNAP 
households must report substantial winnings to State SNAP agencies. 
These requirements at 7 CFR 273.11(r) were implemented in 2019 through 
final rulemaking titled ``Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: 
Student Eligibility, Convicted Felons, Lottery and Gambling, and State 
Verification Provisions of the Agricultural Act of 2014'', published on 
April 15, 2019 (84 FR 15083, RIN 0584-AE41). A technical correction to 
the 60-Day Notice associated with this rulemaking was published on June 
21, 2019 (84 FR 29029, RIN 0584-AE41).
    Per Section 5(g) of the Food and Nutrition Act, all applicant 
households must meet the SNAP resource limits unless they are 
considered categorically eligible (Section 5(j) of the Food and 
Nutrition Act) for SNAP benefits. State eligibility workers must 
evaluate the resources available to each household to determine whether 
these households meet the SNAP resource limits as defined by 7 CFR 
273.8(b). Resources are one of several criteria that SNAP State 
agencies use to determine SNAP eligibility and States may elect to 
mandate verification of resources (7 CFR 273.2(f)(3)). All States must 
verify any resource information that appears to be questionable, in 
accordance with 7 CFR 273.2(f)(2)(i).
    Need and Use of the Information: Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), 
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) information collection 
captures the burden associated with the requirement States SNAP 
Agencies make ineligible SNAP participants with substantial lottery or 
gambling winnings and establish cooperative agreements with public and 
private business gaming entities within their States to identify SNAP 
participants with substantial winnings. Individuals and households are 
required to report substantial winnings.
    Description of Respondents: State Agencies (100); Business (200); 
Individuals/households (1,842,588).
    Number of Respondents: 1,842,888.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (as desired).
    Total Burden Hours: 789,267.
