FNS weighs in against privitizing intake and applications

Posted: January 28, 2010

Based on data of the problems, FNS has issued a guidance stating, “After a careful review of the impact of these projects on program administration, FNS has determined that it is not in the best interest of the households entitled to SNAP to support such projects with Federal Financial Participation (FFP).” States must therefore get prior FNS approval if they plan to use non-merit pay staff to perform discretionary tasks in the intake and enrollment process. Comes with a series of Q and A’s.
