What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``SNAP Data Transparency and Oversight Act of 2025'', aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. It would require State agencies to provide specific data to the Secretary of Agriculture upon request. This includes recipient-level data, case file information, or other data needed for program administration and enforcement. States must provide this information within 30 days, unless a shorter timeline is set for urgent matters. Failure to comply could lead to the withholding or suspension of Federal administrative funds.
