SNAP E&T Data And Technical Assistance (DATA) Act of 2025

# SNAP E&T Data And Technical Assistance (DATA) Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would improve how the federal government collects and shares information about SNAP Employment & Training (E&T) programs. SNAP E&T programs help people receiving food assistance develop job skills and find employment. The bill would establish better data collection methods and provide technical support to states and local organizations running these programs, making it easier to track program effectiveness and outcomes. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects states and local agencies that administer SNAP E&T programs, as well as the low-income individuals participating in these employment and training initiatives.

It would also impact federal administrators overseeing the program, who would gain clearer data to evaluate success. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Andrea Salinas (D-OR) and is currently in committee review, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. No significant action has occurred since its introduction.
