The Kansas Department for Children and Families received a $1,389,121 Formula Grant award from the US Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.

The grant funding supports the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), officially titled "State Administrative Expenses." Through this program, the federal government provides funds to reimburse state agencies for 50% of their costs to administer the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Specifically, the funds awarded will support Kansas's costs to operate its SNAP Employment and Training program, which helps SNAP recipients gain skills, training, and work experience to obtain steady employment. As the designated state agency, the Kansas Department for Children and Families Office of Financial Management will oversee delivery of these employment and training services to SNAP participants throughout Kansas.
