The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Social Services South Dakota Department $1,933,136 in formula grant funding under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This award supports state administrative expenses for operating South Dakota's SNAP program, including costs associated with program administration, eligibility determination, case management, and related operational activities necessary to deliver nutrition assistance benefits to eligible residents.

The funding enables the state agency to maintain critical infrastructure and staffing for SNAP administration and may support Employment and Training (E&T) initiatives, nutrition education, and other activities that enhance program effectiveness and participant outcomes. As a formula grant distributed through the Food and Nutrition Service's established allocation methodology, the award is part of the annual federal commitment to ensure state agencies possess adequate resources to administer this essential nutrition support program across all fifty states and territories.
