The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service has awarded a $748,600 Project Grant to the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) under the SNAP Fraud Framework Implementation Grant Program (CFDA 10.535). The grant, awarded on Sep 20, 2024, supports DCF's efforts to improve fraud prevention, detection, and investigation within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) administered by the state. Specifically, the funding will enable DCF to develop and enhance program integrity initiatives focused on organizational management, performance measurement, recipient education, fraud detection, investigations, data analytics, and employee training. These initiatives aim to strengthen SNAP's operational controls and reduce potential fraudulent activities in the nutrition assistance benefits system. As a state government entity, DCF partners with over 50 community organizations, managing entities, non-profits, and other state agencies as sub-awardees to implement these federally-funded SNAP program integrity efforts across Florida's 67 counties.
