SNAP Longitudinal Data Project
10.577
The purpose of the SNAP Partnership grants is to establish interstate data exchange projects for program information in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
This chart shows obligations for the program by fiscal year. All data for this chart was provided by the
administering agency and sourced from SAM.gov, USASpending.gov, and Treasury.gov.

About the data page.
In August 2015, FNS completed the National Accuracy Clearinghouse (NAC) pilot project in conjunction with OMB’s Partnership for Program Integrity and Innovation and a consortium of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. The pilot project tested a data clearinghouse that allowed States to conduct a real-time check of whether a SNAP applicant was receiving benefits in another pilot State. The NAC reduced duplicate participation in all five States. Not all cases of duplicate participation are determined to be fraud; however, all cases of duplicate participation can lead to an overpayment claim. Duplicate participation rates were low between pilot States. Not all States were able to obtain the same level of automation to support the system. The pilot demonstrated results in lowering instances of duplicate participation and in providing cost savings by preventing duplicate participation before it occurs.
FNS awarded LDP grants to 14 States from FY21 to FY23; Congress did not fund the LDP grants for FY24. Nine of the LDP grantee states have completed MOUs and have delivered SNAP state administrative records to the Census Bureau to support longitudinal research on SNAP, and four others have draft agreements to do so.
