What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "SNAP Administrator Retention Act of 2025," aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. It seeks to increase the Federal cost share for the administration of the supplemental nutrition assistance program. The legislation establishes specific wage standards for State agency personnel to improve staffing and retention. Under this act, the Secretary would pay 100 percent of certain administrative personnel costs to State agencies upon approval of a wage plan. These changes are intended to cover costs related to processing, hiring, training, and maintaining personnel.
