HB 1071 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Funding in Response to H.R. 1.

This bill appropriates $85 million in state funds to cover administrative cost losses for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in North Carolina, which result from a federal law reducing federal funding. The money is split between the state Department of Health and Human Services and the county-level Division of Social Services, with funds distributed to counties based on their specific financial losses. These allocations are strictly limited to the actual amount of lost federal receipts and will become available starting in the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
