Case Overview

The Electronic Privacy Information Center sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture over the department's alleged circumvention of the Privacy Act, Paperwork Reduction Act, and Administrative Procedures Act in its collection of information of SNAP applicants and recipients.


The Application

History

EPIC alleges that USDA bypassed these statutory safeguards in its SNAP data collection efforts, potentially collecting personal information without proper Privacy Act notice, required PRA approval, or APA procedural compliance.

The Conclusion

The case remains active before the District Court of DC with no final determination reached, presided over by Judge Jia M. Cobb since the May 22, 2025 filing date.
