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 in < 2 s.
- Per-decision CREB®. Court Ready Evidence Bundle for any flagged retailer or trafficking-pattern case - FRE 902(13)-compliant, cryptographically signed across independent attestation infrastructure spanning 13+ jurisdictions. 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 independent 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. Flat fee on the 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 pricing or Attestyx flat-fee.
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; the commercial terms differ.
| Buyer type | Engagement model |
|---|---|
| State SIU running retailer-fraud detection | Use the Fraud Pillar Pricing below (12.5% flat + 10% contingency + 4-yr retro). Performance-aligned. Recovery-driven. Matches the MCO / Medicare model on /products/mco-flat-fee. |
| Grants-compliance / per-case attestation buyer | Use the Attestyx Tier 1/2/3 flat-fee model below. Federal-procurement-friendly, no contingency, FRE 902(14) institutional neutrality preserved. |
Fraud-pillar pricing (state SIU)
12.5% flat + 10% contingency + 4-year retro lookback.
Same canonical block as every other JIL fraud-vertical page. Anchored to UHG 10-K Schedule H disclosures + CMS PERM 2024.
| Component | Terms |
|---|---|
| Retroactive scan | One-time, scoped to state SNAP transaction volume. 4-year minimum retro lookback. Builds the base dataset across retailer authorization, disqualifications, sanctions, EBT redemption patterns, cross-state recidivism. Proves closed-loop economics before the flat-fee leg starts. |
| Flat fee | 12.5% of disclosed program-integrity contractor spend, annual, capped. Below the industry-standard 15-25% SIU contingency. Covers nightly T1 + AVA + T2 + CREB® generation across the retailer-side detection lane. |
| Contingency | 10% of net cash recovered. Performance-aligned. Fires only on actual recovered cash, net of MAC appeal, settlement, pursuit. Outside counsel runs 33%. |
| 90-day pilot | $1M all-in. Asymmetric downside. If Day 90 deliverables miss, the $1M converts to a 6-month platform credit and contingency drops from 10% to 7.5%. No other vendor in SNAP integrity takes pure downside on the math. |
Attestyx pricing (grants compliance / per-case)
Flat-fee annual, volume-tiered, federal-procurement-friendly.
| Component | Terms |
|---|---|
| Concurrent Attestation API | Flat-fee annual subscription, volume-tiered by retailers + redemptions in scope. $250K to $5M annual. Includes the CREB® bundle on demand for any flagged retailer or trafficking-pattern case. |
| Retroactive Integrity Audit | $500K integration + $250K to $5M annual by retro corpus size. 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 II ETA Q4 2027). |
| Evidence retention | 15+ year retention on CourtChain™. FRE 902(13) self-authenticating certification per sealed record. Independently signed across attestation infrastructure spanning 13+ jurisdictions. |
