The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Fraud Framework Implementation Grant Program supports State agency efforts to improve and expand recipient fraud prevention, detection, and investigation efforts using the procedures, ideas, and practices outlined in the SNAP Fraud Framework.
Objective
- Organizational Management: Establish and communicate priorities, organize employees, and manage both large-scale and day-to-day processes in order to improve program integrity in SNAP.
- Performance Measurement: Analyze State agency performance to identify areas of program integrity improvement in SNAP.
- Recipient Integrity Education: Develop or deliver recipient integrity education resources to help recipients to safeguard their SNAP benefits and use them as intended—preventing fraud before it occurs. When producing recipient integrity education materials, State agencies are encouraged to educate the public and applicants about SNAP benefit theft and fraud, rather than emphasize the consequences as a deterrent to applying.
- Fraud Detection: Improve administrative infrastructure by equipping Eligibility workers and fraud unit employees with the appropriate tools as the agency’s first line of defense against fraud.
- Investigations and Dispositions: To improve fraud case management from initial fraud referral through disposition.
- Analytics and Data Management: To expand the State Agency’s ability to capture and analyze data.
- Learning and Development: To invest in training and professional development opportunities to promote employee engagement and to ensure employees are aware of new and emerging trends in benefit theft and SNAP fraud.
