The federal government reduced administrative reimbursement for SNAP administration to 25% (from 50%).

• A. 25%
• B. 50%
• C. 75%
• D. 10%

Answer: (A)

Understanding how SNAP administrative funding works helps make sense of this question. The federal government covers a share of the costs states incur to run the SNAP program, and that share is called the administrative reimbursement rate. If the policy states that this rate was reduced to 25% from 50%, the new federal match is 25% of eligible administrative costs. That makes 25% the correct figure to identify after the change.

This matters because lowering the federal match shifts more of the administration costs onto states, which can impact state budgets and how efficiently benefits are administered. The other numbers describe the prior level or unrelated figures, so they don’t reflect the described reduction.
