FY 2024 SNAP Recertification Processing Timeliness
FY 2024 SNAP Recertification Processing Timeliness
Breadcrumb
The Food and Nutrition Service evaluates recertification processing timeliness as part of the quality control (QC) review process. State QC reviewers evaluate timeliness during the state QC case review. Recertification processing timeliness is calculated by dividing the number of SNAP recertification applications approved timely for a given period of time (i.e., day, month, year, etc.) by the total number of recertifications approved within that same time period. A SNAP recertification application is considered processed timely when the household has been certified with access to their benefit allotment by their normal issuance date. FNS removes client-caused delays when calculating recertification processing timeliness, using only agency-caused delays to monitor state agency compliance with statutory requirements.
