Modernizing Funding Allocation for SNAP Nutrition Education Programs.

This bill changes how states receive money for nutrition education and obesity prevention programs (SNAP-Ed). Instead of relying on historical funding levels, the allocation will gradually shift to be based primarily on the current number of individuals participating in the SNAP program in that state. This ensures that states with higher current needs receive proportionally more resources for these educational services, potentially improving access to healthy eating information.
Key points
Funding for SNAP nutrition education programs will gradually transition to a system based on the current number of program participants in each state.
By Fiscal Year 2028, 100% of the education funding will be allocated solely based on the state's share of current SNAP beneficiaries, moving away from 2019 funding levels.
