SNAP Data Transparency and Oversight Act of 2026 requires states to provide recipient-level data to the Secretary of Agriculture upon request.
The SNAP Data Transparency and Oversight Act of 2026 amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to mandate that state agencies furnish recipient-level data to the Secretary of Agriculture when requested. This data is essential for program administration, oversight, integrity, and enforcement. The Secretary can withhold or suspend funds to non-compliant states. Data must be transmitted securely and within a specified timeframe, with potential for expedited delivery in urgent cases. The bill also ensures that all data is protected under applicable federal privacy and security laws.
