SNAP and TANF Overpayment Collections

SNAP and TANF Overpayment Collections

How this program helps people

Fraud Management monitors collections of overpayments for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) – formerly the Food Stamp Program – and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.

Overpayments occur because of agency error, inadvertent household error, or fraud (i.e., intentional program violation).

Data Notes

TANF collections data are not available by error type.
