To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to increase the Federal cost share for the supplemental nutrition assistance program administration to improve staffing and retention.
This bill would require the federal government to cover 100% of state agencies' costs for SNAP program staff salaries, hiring, and training. It sets minimum wage standards for SNAP workers at the same rate as federal employees, with annual updates tied to federal pay increases. States must submit detailed wage plans for federal approval. The policy aims to improve staffing stability and retention for SNAP operations.
