AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require each state agency that runs the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to give the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture recipient-level data, case file information, or other program data when the Secretary asks for it. States would have to provide the data within 30 days, or sooner if the Secretary sets a shorter deadline for urgent integrity, audit, or investigative purposes. A state that does not comply could have federal administrative funds withheld or suspended. The data would be covered by federal privacy and security laws, including the Privacy Act of 1974, and could be shared with federal and state law enforcement and investigative agencies to enforce SNAP rules or other federal or state laws.
