Snap state administrative costs

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded Indiana Family And Social Services Administration (FSSA) $87.338 million on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561), a formula grant funding state administrative costs to operate SNAP.

FSSA, the designated state agency for SNAP administration in Indiana, uses the funding to cover operational expenses incurred in administering the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program statewide. The award obligates $87.338 million for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with performance across Indiana.

The program funds state administrative expenses including staff, systems, and other costs necessary to deliver SNAP benefits and services. Awards under this CFDA are made annually as of October 1 to state agency SNAP administrators, with budgets due to the Food and Nutrition Service by August 15 each year. State agencies must submit a plan of operation prior to approval and complete standard application forms. Single audit requirements apply to SNAP state administrative expense funding, and states must retain all financial records, supporting documents, and statistical records for three years.
