Abstract
This action amends Food Stamp Program regulations to prohibit an increase in food stamp benefits when a household's benefit from another Federal, State or local means-tested assistance program decreases as a result of a penalty imposed on the household for intentionally failing to comply with a requirement of the other program. This regulatory change is necessary to more fully implement congressional intent that the Food Stamp Program reinforce, not mitigate, another program's penalties.
