Requires State agencies that run the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to pay staff wages at least equal to comparable federal pay rates within one year and to update those wages annually. If a State submits an approved wage plan, the federal government must cover 100% of the SNAP administrative personnel costs tied to hiring, training, maintaining staff, and complying with these wage rules, with a maintenance-of-effort condition tied to fiscal year 2024.
