The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 ( 7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq. ) is amended by adding at the end the following: Not later than 180 days after the effective date of this section, the Secretary shall establish a program, to be known as the elderly simplified application program (referred to in this section as ESAP ), under which a State, in carrying out the supplemental nutrition assistance program, may elect to implement a streamlined application and certification process for households in which all adult members— are elderly or disabled members; and have no earned income.
The certification period for participants in ESAP shall be 36 months. A State agency determining the eligibility for an applicant household under ESAP shall, notwithstanding section 11(e)(3)— to the maximum extent practicable, use data matching for income verification and household size; and allow self-declaration by the household of the information required under section 273.2(f) of title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations (or successor regulations), subject to household certification after verification of the information provided that relates to eligibility factors and that the State agency determines is questionable.
In carrying out paragraph (1), a State agency shall establish accountability and fraud protection measures to deter fraud and ensure the integrity of ESAP and the supplemental nutrition assistance program. Notwithstanding section 11(e)(6)(A), for recertification of a household under ESAP, the State agency shall not require an interview unless requested by the household, which may be conducted virtually. Before establishment of ESAP under subsection (a), the Administrator of the Food and Nutrition Service shall develop guidance for States, after consultation with States, to carry out ESAP, including— general implementation guidelines; reporting requirements; quality control requirements; and best practices. .
