SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program Pre-Screening Tool. 

OMB Number: 0584–0519. 

Expiration Date: December 31, 2011. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: In June 2003, the Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) deployed an 

interactive web-based pre-screening tool 

that can be utilized by the general 

public to determine potential eligibility 

for benefits in the Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). 

Once the user enters household size, 

income, expenses and resource 

information, the tool will calculate and 

provide the user with an estimated 

range of benefits that the household may 

be eligible to receive. Since SNAP 

eligibility and benefit amount may vary 

by location, FNS makes it clear that the 

tool is only an estimator and the 

household will need to contact the local 

agency to determine actual eligibility 

and the appropriate benefit amount.
