This bill, the SNAP Data Transparency and Oversight Act of 2025, amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to require states participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to provide recipient-level data to the Secretary of Agriculture upon request. This data, which includes case file information, is essential for the administration, oversight, integrity, and enforcement of the program. States must comply with these requests within 30 days , or a shorter timeframe if deemed urgent by the Secretary, who also prescribes the data's format and transmission method. Non-compliance could lead to the withholding or suspension of Federal administrative funds . The Secretary is mandated to ensure the privacy and security of all collected data, adhering to Federal laws such as the Privacy Act of 1974, while also allowing for disclosure to Federal and State law enforcement agencies for program enforcement purposes.
