Snap enhanced program integrity

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services $698,000 on September 26, 2025, under the SNAP Fraud Framework Implementation Grant Program (CFDA 10.535) to support recipient fraud prevention, detection, and investigation efforts consistent with the SNAP Fraud Framework.

The award funds projects designed to improve recipient integrity in SNAP through educational initiatives addressing eligibility fraud, benefit trafficking, and misuse. Performance runs through September 30, 2028, in New Hampshire.

The SNAP Fraud Framework Implementation Grant Program is available exclusively to the 53 state agencies administering SNAP. State agencies submit proposals for projects improving recipient integrity; awardees are selected by a review panel based on published criteria and funding availability. No state matching requirement applies. Funds must be expended within 36 months of the identified start date, and recipient agencies must maintain records for three years after submission of the final report for the applicable fiscal year, or longer if audit findings remain unresolved.
