About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is seeking competitive grant applications from state agencies to implement the SNAP Fraud Framework Implementation Grant Program. The program aims to support state-level efforts to improve recipient fraud prevention, detection, and investigation techniques within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Key objectives include enhancing organizational management, performance measurement, recipient integrity education, fraud detection, investigations, data analytics, and employee learning and development. Eligible applicants are limited to state agencies administering SNAP in the 50 states, District of Columbia, Virgin Islands, and Guam. The application deadline is July 31, 2025, with evaluation criteria focused on comprehensive proposals that demonstrate innovative approaches to minimizing fraudulent activities in the nutrition assistance benefit system.
The federal grant opportunity offers up to $5 million in total funding, with individual awards ranging from $150,000 to $750,000 and approximately 10 awards anticipated. The performance period for selected projects will run from September 2025 to September 2028. Funding is authorized under Section 29(a) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 and is specifically designed to prevent trafficking of SNAP benefits. Selected state agencies will be required to maintain detailed records supporting the use of grant funds for a minimum of three years after submission of the final fiscal year report. The place of performance will be within the administrative jurisdictions of the selected state agencies, focusing on implementing the SNAP Fraud Framework at the state or county level.
Synopsis
Executive Summary:
Consistent with USDA Secretary Rollins' guiding principle to take swift action to minimize instances of fraud, waste, and program abuse in nutrition programs, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Fraud Framework Implementation Grant Program supports State agency efforts to improve and expand recipient fraud prevention, detection, and investigation efforts using the procedures, ideas, and practices outlined in the SNAP Fraud Framework. Section 29(a) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2036b) authorizes FNS to prevent trafficking of SNAP benefits. Based on this authority, Congress has provided funding in annual appropriations in recent years to provide competitive grants to support State agencies in implementing SNAP's Fraud Framework and to strengthen program integrity activities in SNAP. Up to $5 million has been appropriated in FY 2025 for State agencies to implement practices described in the SNAP Fraud Framework and each applicant may apply for up to $750,000 in funding. This funding opportunity will be offered on a competitive basis.

Throughout this RFA, the term "State agencies" refers to the agencies of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, and Guam that administer SNAP at the State or County level. This is consistent with the definition of State agencies within SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 271.2.
