During this interview, we ask you to share your experiences and successes in protecting SNAP participant and applicant PII. As a State leader, you will be a model for other SAs in developing innovative and cost-effective methods for safeguarding PII. Your participation is critical not only for helping SNAP SAs but for protecting the privacy and identity of the families and individuals who need SNAP benefits. The cooperation of your SA is strongly encouraged.
