Snap enhanced prog integrity

The Illinois Department of Human Services received a $1.87 million cooperative agreement award from the US Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service on September 10, 2021 to enhance the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) integrity through September 30, 2022.

The award supports the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) federal grant program (CFDA #10.561), which provides federal financial assistance to state agencies for costs incurred to operate SNAP. Specifically, the Illinois Department of Human Services will work to enhance program integrity for SNAP through improved eligibility determination processes and benefit issuance controls. As the parent organization of the awardee, the State of Illinois, through the Illinois Office of the Governor, will oversee delivery of these program integrity enhancements for SNAP.
