Description

Receipts result from detection of violations of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). When a violation is detected, the face value of the SNAP benefit involved is collected. As an incentive to detect and collect these violations, the USDA allows the commission to retain 50% of the money collected. The state portion is deposited as revenue object 3602. The federal portion is deposited as revenue object 3600 and an adjustment is made to the SNAP letter-of-credit for future federal fund receipts.

Due Date

When violation is detected.

Deposit Funds

  • To General Revenue (0001) when cleared from Departmental Suspense Fund (0900) using revenue code 3600 for the 50% federal reimbursement and revenue code 3602 for the 50% earned funds.

Note

Previously cleared to GR Account -- Federal Public Welfare Administration (0117). The state portion was transferred from Fund 0117 to Fund 0001, Revenue Code 3602, as needed.

Transferred from the Texas Department of Health, (501) to the Health and Human Services Commission (529) by H.B. 2292, 78th Leg., R.S.

Prior law required 100% of these collections to be returned to the USDA.

Title changed from "Earned Federal Funds, Food Stamp Recoupment" to reflect S.B. 219, 84th Leg., R.S.
