State regulations have been adopted that eliminate existing finger imaging requirements for the purposes of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), effective November 1, 2012. (Note: SNAP is the new name for the Food Stamp Program in New York State, effective August 29, 2012. On the federal level, this name change went into effect in 2008.)
As of November 1, 2012, social services districts (SSDs) are prohibited from finger imaging applicants and recipients for any purpose related to SNAP (18 NYCRR 387.9 (c)).
