The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has announced a new requirement for states to share records related to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) with the federal government. This measure aims to ensure proper oversight and lawful use of federal funds.
“President Trump is rightfully requiring the federal government to have access to all programs it funds,” stated Secretary Rollins. He emphasized that SNAP should not be an exception, noting, “For years, this program has been on autopilot, with no USDA insight into real-time data.” The initiative is part of a broader effort by the Department to maintain appropriate and lawful participation in SNAP. Secretary Rollins highlighted that today’s request is one of several steps being taken to preserve SNAP benefits for eligible individuals.
The announcement reflects ongoing efforts by the USDA to enhance transparency and accountability in federally funded programs.
