SNAP Administrator Retention Act of 2025

Introduced·5/15/25

Increases federal funding to improve staffing and retention for state agencies administering the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

The SNAP Administrator Retention Act of 2025 amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to enhance federal support for state agencies managing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It increases the federal cost share for SNAP administration to 100 percent, covering all administrative personnel costs, including hiring, training, and maintaining staff. This change aims to improve staffing and retention within state agencies. States must submit wage plans to the Secretary for approval, ensuring that wages meet federal employee standards and are updated annually.
