## Summary

**recipient-level SNAP data sharing** would be a mandatory condition for state participation, letting the Secretary request case files and other program records for oversight and enforcement. It would set timelines, require secure electronic transfer, allow disclosure to law enforcement, and authorize funding penalties for noncompliant states. - State agencies would have to provide requested data within 30 days, or sooner for urgent audits or investigations, and could face withholding or suspension of federal administrative funds for noncompliance. - SNAP households would see recipient-level records and case file information shared with federal and state law enforcement and investigative agencies for administering or enforcing SNAP or other laws. - The Secretary could prescribe the form, manner, frequency, and timing of data transfers, including designated secure electronic systems to receive the data. - All data received would remain subject to applicable federal privacy and security laws, including the Privacy Act of 1974.
