Vertical · USDA-FNS Portfolio
Nutrition Assistance Integrity
Pre-settlement and retroactive attestation for the $113B SNAP program, plus WIC, CACFP, NSLP, and TEFAP. Every retailer authorization, redemption-volume signal, post-disqualification billing pattern, trafficking-pattern marker, and state policy-version drift is verified against the federal rule frozen at the date of decision, sealed with a CREB™, and re-verifiable by USDA-FNS, a state SNAP integrity office, an inspector general, or a federal court.
The SNAP integrity gap is structural - state agencies and USDA-FNS run anti-fraud detection downstream of authorization, after the redemption has cleared and the dollar has moved. JIL inverts the order. Attestation runs at the rail.
At a glance
Three surfaces, one product.
SNAP / WIC attestation ships in three distinct surfaces. A state SNAP agency or USDA-FNS partner can adopt one, two, or all three.
- Concurrent Attestation API. Real-time pre-settlement verdict on retailer authorization, density-anomaly score, and policy-freshness. Returns a sealed attestation.
- Per-decision CREB™. Court Ready Evidence Bundle for any flagged retailer or trafficking-pattern case - FRE 902(13)-compliant, cryptographically signed across JIL-operated attestation infrastructure. The bundle a USDA-OIG investigator, state AG, or federal court receives.
- Retroactive Integrity Audit (integration-gated). One-time integration into the state SNAP system of record + state-level EBT transaction feed builds a verifiable CREB for every historical retailer / household / vendor decision in scope (4-6 year lookback).
Four use cases
Retailer authorization through state policy drift.
Retailer authorization & density integrity
Every SNAP-authorized retailer transaction verified against the FNS Retailer Locator master and the per-ZIP convenience-store density baseline. 256,072 FNS-authorized retailers indexed as of 2026-05-14. Density anomalies (ZIPs with >75% c-store concentration) surfaced as Tier-3 trafficking-risk corridors per USDA-OIG framework.
Post-disqualification & sanctions recidivism
Cross-walks SNAP retailers against the FNS Disqualifications List + Sanctions Imposed list + SAM.gov Federal Exclusions list (already-LIVE). Detects retailers (by owner + EIN + ZIP cluster) reappearing under a new FNS# after a permanent disqualification - the highest-impact T3 evidence pattern for USDA-OIG referral.
Trafficking-pattern attestation
Multi-signal detection: ZIP-cluster density + redemption-per-square-foot + even-dollar transactions + manual-keyed entry rate + cross-card sharing. National-pattern correlation against USDA-FNS ALERT (gated; state-partnership required). Without state EBT data, surfaces as Tier 2 substantiation candidate.
State policy-version freshness
Cross-walks every state eligibility / issuance / authorization decision against the SNAP / WIC Federal Register publication superseding date. 1,505 FNS Federal Register documents indexed (1995-2026). Flags state decisions operating on a rule that has been superseded. State-Plan-Amendment lag is the load-bearing signal.

What you get
Per-decision attestation, continuous proof-of-compliance.
- Per-decision attestation. Retailer authorization, density, sanctions cross-walk, policy freshness - each sealed individually.
- CourtChain™ evidence. Append-only ledger with cryptographic timestamp, hash chain, and signatures from JIL-operated signing nodes across jurisdictions.
- CREB™ issuance. Court Ready Evidence Bundle for flagged retailers, self-authenticating under FRE 902(13).
- PoCS dashboard. Continuous Proof of Compliance State across the SNAP retailer master, not a quarterly snapshot.
- Regulatory mapping. 7 USC 2018, 7 CFR 278, Privacy Act 1974, IRS §6103, applicable state SNAP statutes mapped check-by-check.
What this is not
Evidence layer - not a system of record, not a recovery vendor.
- Not a replacement for USDA-FNS Retailer Operations, STARS, ALERT, or NSCI. JIL produces attestations; existing systems remain the system of record.
- Not a recovery vendor. JIL detects and proves. USDA-OIG or the state agency acts on the attestation.
- Not contingency-priced on the Attestyx track. Priced against the measured value; no rate card. (Fraud-pillar track has its own performance-aligned model below.)
- Not a black box. Every check is versioned, audit-traceable, statutorily-cited.
- Not a household-PII access vendor. Household-side T2/T3 evidence requires the state SNAP agency to engage JIL under a BAA-equivalent contractor relationship; we do not aggregate cross-state PII.
Engagement choice
State SIU or per-case attestation.
SNAP and WIC integrity splits cleanly into two buyer types. Both ship under the same Snowflake / Databricks deployment plane and the same CREB™ evidence artifact. Both are priced the same way: against measured return.
| Buyer type | Engagement model |
|---|---|
| State SIU running retailer-fraud detection | Retailer-side detection with a 4-year retroactive baseline. Priced against the recovered and protected value the assessment measures. |
| Grants-compliance / per-case attestation buyer | Concurrent and retroactive attestation, federal-procurement-friendly, no contingency, FRE 902(14) institutional neutrality preserved. |
Pricing
Priced against the value it returns. Measured first.
Pricing is set against the measurable value the work recovers and protects for the program. ROI is that recovered and protected value divided by the fee. There are no flat tiers.
| Component | Terms |
|---|---|
| Exposure assessment | Scoped to state SNAP transaction volume. 4-year minimum retro lookback across retailer authorization, disqualifications, sanctions, EBT redemption patterns, and cross-state recidivism. It produces the measurement the terms are set against. |
| Fee | Set against the measured recovered and protected value, booked as operating expense. Covers nightly T1 + AVA + T2 + CREB™ generation across the retailer-side detection lane. |
| Not a contingency fee | The program keeps 100% of recoveries. Contingency recovery programs common in the industry take a share of what they find. JIL does not, and the fee does not rise when a recovery is larger. |
Attestyx pricing (grants compliance / per-case)
Annual, priced on measured return, federal-procurement-friendly.
| Component | Terms |
|---|---|
| Concurrent Attestation API | Annual subscription scoped to retailers + redemptions in scope, priced against measured return. Includes the CREB™ bundle on demand for any flagged retailer or trafficking-pattern case. |
| Retroactive Integrity Audit | Scoped by retro corpus size and priced against the recovery it can measure. One-time integration into the state SNAP system of record + EBT transaction feed builds a CREB for every historical retailer / household / vendor decision in scope. |
| Integration | API-first via Connector SDK. Sits between USDA-FNS / state SNAP system and the redemption rail. 2-5 days minimum-viable go-live; 8-12 weeks for production-grade tightly-coupled state integration. |
| Compliance | Privacy Act 1974, IRS §6103, applicable state SNAP statutes. HITRUST / NIST 800-53 / SOC 2 Type II inherited via the deployment plane: Path A (Snowflake-native), Path B (Databricks-native), Path C (JIL Cloud, SOC 2 Type 2 targeted January 2027, report not issued). |
| Evidence retention | 15+ year retention on CourtChain™. FRE 902(13) self-authenticating certification per sealed record. Independently signed across attestation infrastructure. |
