Title: Worksheet for Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program Quality 

Control Reviews. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0074. 

Summary of Collection: State agencies 

are required to perform Quality Control 

Reviews for the Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program (SNAP). In order to 

determine the accuracy of SNAP 

benefits authorized by State agencies, a 

statistical sample of SNAP cases is 

selected for review from each State 

agency. Relevant information from the 

case record, investigative work and 

documentation about individual cases is 

recorded on the FNS–380, Worksheet 

for SNAP Quality Control Reviews. This 

information, along with supporting 

documentation, is the basis for the 

determination of the accuracy of the 

case. Section 16 of the Food and 

Nutrition Act of 2008 provides the 

legislative basis for the operation of the 

QC system. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will 

use the information from the FNS–380 

to record identifying information about 

the household and to also document 

and evaluate each step of the field 

investigation process to determine 

eligibility and payment amounts under 

FNS’ approved State agency practices. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

Local, or Tribal Government; 

individuals or households. 

Number of Respondents: 56,118. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion; 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 500,301. 

Food Nutrition Service 

Title: Monthly Claim for 

Reimbursement. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0284. 

Summary of Collection: The Child 

Nutrition Act of 1966 requires that 

educational agencies disburse and 

appropriate funds during the fiscal year 

for the purposes of carrying out 

provisions of the Special Milk Program 

(SMP). The National School Lunch Act 

requires that State educational agency 

appropriated funds for any fiscal year 

for the purposes of fulfilling the earned 

reimbursement set forth in National 

School Lunch, Breakfast, and Special 

Milk Programs. The Food and Nutrition 

Service will use the monthly claim 

reimbursement form FNS–806A and 

806B to fulfill the earned requirements 

identified in these programs, National 

School Lunch Program (NSLP), SMP, 

and the School Breakfast Program (SBP). 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

information is collected electronically 

from school food authorities that 

participate in NSLP, School Breakfast 

Program (SBP), and SMP programs. The 

forms contain meal and cost data 

collected from authorized program 

participants. Also, these forms are 

essential part of the accounting system 

used by the subject programs to ensure 

proper reimbursement. This information 

is collected monthly because of the 

constant fluctuation in school 

enrollment and program participation. 

Program participants would not receive 

the monthly reimbursement earned and 

the Agency would lose program 

accountability, if this information were 

collect less frequently. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

Local or Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 233. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Monthly. 

Total Burden Hours: 1,398.
