making a supplemental appropriation to the department of health and human services for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

HB 1750 provides a $4.4 million supplemental appropriation from the General Fund to New Hampshire’s Department of Health and Human Services for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This funding addresses a budget shortfall caused by federal legislation reducing the federal cost-share for SNAP administrative costs from 50% to 25%, which the state did not have time to budget for before the change. The appropriation specifically covers increased state administrative expenses for SNAP operations during the 2026-2027 fiscal year, ensuring continued program functionality without altering SNAP eligibility or benefits. It does not create new positions or change program rules, as noted in the fiscal impact statement.
