Regulation Authority:

RIGL 40-6-8; Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, Public Law 110–246

Purpose and Reason:

Rule-making to address the mandatory provisions of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, Public Law 110–246. The rule defines the term “trafficking” and allows for the disqualification of a SNAP client who intentionally obtains cash by purchasing, with SNAP benefits, products that have container deposits, subsequently discarding the product, and returning the container(s) in exchange for cash refund of deposit(s); or who intentionally resells or exchanges products purchased with SNAP benefits for purposes of obtaining cash and/or other non-eligible items. The rule also addresses the mandatory provisions requiring disqualification in SNAP when an individual is disqualified from Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), and clarifies the prohibition against dual participation in SNAP and FDPIR. The penalties for violating a SNAP rule have also been updated to comport with current federal regulations.
