Substantial winnings are defined as winnings that are equal to or greater than the resource limit for elderly or disabled households as defined in 7 CFR 273.8(b). States are also required to work cooperatively with entities responsible for gaming in their State to identify individuals or households with substantial winnings. SNAP individuals or households must report substantial winnings to State SNAP agencies. <E T="03">Need and Use of the Information:</E> State SNAP agencies are required, to the maximum extent practicable, to establish cooperative agreements with gaming entities within the State to identify SNAP recipients with substantial winnings. Gaming entities (both State public agency and private business gaming entities) that entered into the cooperative agreements share information with the State SNAP agency on individuals within their gaming establishment who win significant amounts. The regulations define significant amount as being equal to or greater than the maximum allowable resource limit for all elderly and disabled SNAP households, as outlined in 7 CFR 273.8(b)(1). State SNAP agencies must also require SNAP households to report substantial lottery and gambling winnings. State SNAP agencies use the information on substantial winnings collected through these cooperative agreements and through household reporting to assess whether SNAP households are no longer eligible for benefits. State SNAP agencies that collect information from households concerning their available resources use this information to determine whether households meet the SNAP resource limit for program eligibility. All States must verify this information if questionable, and some States elect to verify this information in other circumstances as well. <E T="03">Description of Respondents:</E> State, Local, or Tribal Government, Individuals/Households, and Businesses. <E T="03">Number of Respondents:</E> 1,878,674. <E T="03">Frequency of Responses:</E> Reporting: On Occasion. <E T="03">Total Burden Hours:</E> 1,172,184.66. <SIG> <NAME>Levi S.
