The State Agency, D.H.R., is authorized to use SSN’s in the administration of the Food Stamp Program to access information, through IEVS, regarding individual Food Stamp Program applicants and participants who receive benefits under Title XVI of the Social Security Act to determine such a household’s eligibility to receive assistance and the amount of assistance, or to verify information related to the benefit of these households. State agencies shall use the State Data Exchange (SDX) to the maximum extent possible. SSN’s shall also be used to: 1. Prevent duplicate participation. 2. Facilitate mass changes. 3.
