Snap state administrative costs

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded New York State Office of Temporary & Disability Assistance $364,840,942.50 on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561), a formula grant supporting SNAP state administrative costs for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in New York.

NY OTDA distributes SNAP administrative funding to county social services departments and the New York City Department of Social Services for program operations statewide. The award finances state-level coordination, compliance, and performance reporting for SNAP eligibility determination, case management, fraud prevention, and employment and training activities across New York's 62 counties and New York City. The obligated amount of $364,840,942.50 represents the full award for the performance period.

NY OTDA passed through sub-awards to 48 county departments of social services and the NYC Department of Social Services' Finance Office between June 29, 2026, and July 24, 2026. These sub-recipients—including Erie, Westchester, Suffolk, Chautauqua, Chemung, Monroe, Onondaga, and Nassau Counties, among others—administer SNAP benefits, verify applicant eligibility, manage caseloads, coordinate employment services, and handle administrative functions at the county and municipal level. Sub-awards support ongoing monthly or quarterly allocations tied to each county's SNAP caseload and administrative requirements under state fiscal cycles.
