          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SNAP Administrator Retention Act of 2025&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill directs the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to pay Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) state agencies for 100% of SNAP administrative personnel costs. The bill also&amp;nbsp;requires that state SNAP agency administrators be paid at least the same amount as federal employees. (Under current law, FNS generally pays 50% of a state's administrative costs for SNAP.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Specifically, FNS must pay a state agency for 100% of all SNAP administrative personnel costs that are part of an&amp;nbsp;FNS-approved state agency personnel wage plan. This must include all costs associated with hiring and training new employees, maintaining those personnel costs,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;complying with wage standards. The state agency must use these funds (1) to supplement, not supplant, nonfederal funds used for existing administrative personnel costs; and (2) for existing or additional full-time positions that are above the number of positions that were held in FY2024.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill also requires that the wage standards for SNAP state agency administrators be (1) at least the same amount as the General Schedule (GS) pay rate for federal employees; and (2) updated annually based on any increase in the GS pay rate, including locality adjustments.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
