The SNAP E&T Data And Technical Assistance Act of 2024 would authorize the Department of Agriculture to award competitive grants to state agencies to build and improve data systems that track employment and training outcomes for people receiving SNAP benefits. These grants would help states reduce paperwork burden, protect privacy, improve program quality, and better coordinate SNAP job training programs with other federal workforce development initiatives. The bill allocates $15 million annually from fiscal years 2024 through 2028 for the grants, with up to 20 percent reserved for technical assistance to help states implement the programs. The legislation requires the Department to submit reports to Congress every three years starting three years after implementation, and it directs the Government Accountability Office to examine the grant program's effectiveness within one year and recommend any improvements needed.
