The $18,836,040 grant, which has an award date of October 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025, provides federal financial assistance to the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) to cover administrative costs associated with operating SNAP. Key activities funded include eligibility determination, benefit issuance, employment and training services, outreach, nutrition education, and program integrity efforts to support low-income individuals and families.

The grant includes several sub-awards to Native American tribes in Wisconsin, such as the Oneida Nation, Forest County Potawatomi Community, Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Stockbridge-Munsee Community, and Menominee Indian Tribe. These sub-awards, ranging from approximately $30,000 to $3 million, enable the tribes to deliver a variety of SNAP-related services and community-focused programs within their respective jurisdictions, including employment and training, social services, health initiatives, and cultural preservation efforts.
