What this bill does
H.R. 7572, the SNAP E&T Data And Technical Assistance (DATA) Act of 2024, would amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to authorize the U.S. Department of Agriculture to award competitive grants to state agencies for building and improving longitudinal administrative databases related to SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) programs. The stated goals include strengthening program quality, reducing administrative burden, protecting participant privacy, improving transparency, and encouraging coordination with other workforce and education data systems. The bill sets privacy and security requirements for the data, specifies that grant funds must supplement rather than replace existing state funding, and authorizes $15 million annually for fiscal years 2024 through 2028, with up to 20% reserved for technical assistance. It also requires USDA to report periodically to Congress on grant recipients and outcomes, and requires the Government Accountability Office to review implementation and recommend improvements within a year of funding.
The bill primarily affects state agencies that administer SNAP E&T programs, which could apply for these grants to upgrade data systems, and indirectly affects SNAP recipients participating in employment and training services, since better data systems are intended to improve program coordination and service delivery. It does not change eligibility rules or benefit levels for SNAP recipients.
The bill was introduced on March 6, 2024, by Rep. Andrea Salinas and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. It has not received a committee vote or floor action, and as of the latest available information, no further action has occurred.
