Forty states have appropriated funds for new SNAP administrative cost share

SNAP Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Ballotpedia Colorado

Forty states have partially or fully appropriated funds for their increased share of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) administrative costs under federal law. Beginning on Oct. 1, states are responsible for funding 75% of the administrative costs of running the program in their state, while the federal government covers the remaining 25%. Previously, states split administrative costs evenly with the federal government.

The change is one of several that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) — which President Donald Trump (R) signed into in 2025 — made to SNAP. As a result, states are obligated to appropriate or disburse additional funds to the program, or reduce the overall cost of SNAP administration to address the funding gap.
