Agency: USDA Food and Nutrition Service
Action: Request for Comments by May 9, 2024
Why it matters: USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) seeks comments from the public, including from Tribal Governments, about its study on Understanding Risk Assessment (RA) in SNAP Payment Accuracy. One of the key research objectives is to determine if the RA tools create (or relieve) racial disparities. The subject of the RA focuses on FNS’ and the SNAP State agencies’ ability to monitor the program for improper over or underpayments.
