- What it does
- The purpose of the SNAP Fraud Framework Implementation Grant Program is to support 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. In response to the increase in SNAP benefit theft, FNS is strongly encouraging States to submit proposals that aim to prevent, detect, and respond to false application or certification attempts, phishing, and card skimming schemes.
- Who benefits
- Agreements are established between State agencies and FNS. Grant funds can be used for projects educating recipients on eligibility fraud as well as trafficking and misuse of benefits.
- Who applies
- This grant opportunity is open to the 53 State agencies that administer SNAP. FNS will consider only one application per State agency. There is no State matching requirement for this grant program.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
