In lieu of Plaintiffs' temporary six-month disqualification from SNAP, Plaintiffs agree to pay FNS a civil money penalty totaling $4,884.00, payable in one installment with payment made in full within 30 days of the date of entry of this Stipulation and Order of Settlement ("Stipulation") by the Court. Payments shall be made through Pay.gov with instructions provided to Plaintiffs in the Bill for Collection Standard Form 1114. Accepted payment methods through Pay.gov are bank account transfer (ACH) or credit/debit card. If Plaintiffs fail to make the payment referenced in paragraph 2 above, or any portions of the payment, when due, after a seven-day grace period, Plaintiffs shall be deemed in default of this Stipulation, and Plaintiffs agree that: (a) Plaintiffs will be immediately disqualified from SNAP for six months; (b) Plaintiffs waive the right to administrative or judicial review of such disqualification; and (c) Plaintiffs forfeit any portion of the total civil money penalty that Plaintiffs have already paid. In the event of any default, Plaintiffs will be obligated to serve the entire six-month disqualification period, regardless of whether Plaintiffs have already paid any portion of the total civil money penalty. The Clerk of Court is directed to close a adjourn all remaining dates, and close this case.
