This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to establish a competitive grant program for state agencies, enabling them to create and strengthen longitudinal administrative databases for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) employment and training programs. The grants aim to enhance program quality, reduce burden, advance equity, protect privacy, and improve transparency by facilitating data-driven insights and coordination with other workforce development initiatives. Grant awards will prioritize states with significant data infrastructure needs, encouraging participation and strengthening program effectiveness, particularly by facilitating co-enrollment and coordination with other federally-supported workforce development programs. The legislation mandates strict privacy and security standards for all data, ensuring it is used only for specified purposes and protects individual identities. The bill authorizes $15,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, with funds supplementing existing state efforts, and requires the Secretary to submit annual reports to Congress on grant implementation and impact. Additionally, a GAO report is mandated to examine the program's effectiveness, co-enrollment strategies, and the impact of integrated databases, providing recommendations for future improvements.
