Resource | Guidance DocumentsLetter from USDA to Governors

Americans support helping families in need put food on the table, especially when times are tough, but they want to know that taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely. That is why, along with ensuring program access, one of my top priorities for SNAP is further strengthening the integrity of the program and rooting out waste, fraud and abuse so that federal dollars are used appropriately.

Resource | Guidance DocumentsLetter from USDA to SNAP State Agencies

Thank you for your continued efforts to ensure access to and integrity in the SNAP during this time of increasing caseloads.
