1. Modernize SNAP customer service and client communication to improve accessibility, transparency, and responsiveness in processing applications and determining eligibility.

2. Improve administrative infrastructure and day-to-day SNAP operations in processing applications and determining eligibility.

3. Invest in technology and systems to encourage cross collaboration and cross enrollment between SNAP and other Federal, State, and local assistance programs.
