SNAP Staffing Flexibility Act of 2025

This bill lets state agencies hire outside contractors to help process SNAP (food assistance) applications when they face certain problems. States can use contractors when they have too many applications to handle or can't process them quickly enough due to things like pandemics, seasonal changes in their workforce, temporary staff shortages, or natural disasters. The contractors must work alongside existing state employees and cannot replace permanent government workers. States must tell the Department of Agriculture when they plan to hire contractors and explain why they need them, and this information will be posted online for the public to see.
