Federal Grant Award Summary

Montana's Department of Public Health & Human Services received $131,250 in federal formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561), awarded October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2026. Specifically designated as "SNAP E&T 50% Part Reimb," this award provides partial reimbursement funding to support the state's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training (E&T) initiatives. The funding supports administrative costs and operational expenses associated with delivering employment and training services to SNAP participants, enhancing the state's capacity to provide workforce development and skills training programs for low-income individuals receiving nutrition assistance benefits.

As a formula-based allocation under CFDA 10.561, this award is part of the federal government's annual support for state SNAP administration. The Business & Financial Services Division administers this funding as part of Montana's broader portfolio of federal assistance programs and frequently sub-awards portions to local organizations, tribes, and non-profit entities to implement SNAP E&T services at the community level. The award requires the state to maintain comprehensive financial records and comply with federal single audit requirements over the three-year retention period.
