SNAP Administrator Retention Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Hayes, Jahana [D-CT-5]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would set a federal wage floor for State SNAP agency staff and create 100 percent federal funding for approved SNAP administrative personnel costs tied to that wage standard. It ties State agency pay to Federal pay rates and annual Federal pay increases, including locality adjustments, and requires approved state wage plans to unlock the funding.

The Impact:
- State agency staff: Would require wages for employees who run SNAP to be at least the corresponding Federal rates under chapter 53 of title 5, with annual updates to match Federal pay and locality adjustments, and would force states to submit wage plans within 1 year after enactment.
- State agencies: On approval of those wage plans the Secretary would pay 100 percent of administrative personnel costs for SNAP, including hiring and training, provided the funds supplement and do not replace non-Federal funds and new or existing full-time positions exceed FY 2024 levels.
- SNAP operations: Aims to improve staffing stability, retention, and professional standards across State SNAP agencies by funding higher and regularly updated wages for program staff.
*Would shift administrative personnel costs onto the federal government by funding approved State SNAP personnel costs at 100 percent, subject to wage-plan approval and maintenance-of-effort rules.*

Higher pay and 100% federal funding for SNAP staff
If enacted, State SNAP workers would have to be paid at least the comparable federal pay rate, with annual increases and locality pay. States would need to send a wage plan to the Secretary within 1 year for approval. After approval, the federal government would pay 100% of SNAP administrative personnel costs, including hiring and training. States would need to use this money to add to, not replace, their own funds, and support staffing above fiscal year 2024 levels. These steps are intended to boost staffing and retention in SNAP offices.
