The letter from Robert G. Anderson, Executive Director of the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS), denies a request from Ted Henifin for a list of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients. Anderson argues that releasing such a list would violate recipients' privacy rights and that the MDHS is not required to disclose the names under federal or state public records laws. While MDHS supports transparency, Anderson states they cannot release protected personal information about SNAP beneficiaries.
