The proposal would allow states to use a mix of government employees and private contractors to run the food stamp program (SNAP), rather than requiring all workers to be state employees. This change would give states more flexibility in how they staff their nutrition assistance offices, potentially allowing them to hire temporary or contract workers under certain conditions. The bill affects both state governments managing the program and people who apply for or receive food assistance benefits.
