flag Kansas blocks USDA request to share SNAP data with foreign nations, citing privacy laws; court calls request likely unlawful.

flag Kansas is challenging a USDA request to share SNAP recipients' Social Security numbers and personal data with foreign governments, calling it a violation of privacy laws. flag The state argues the demand exceeds federal authority and could compromise sensitive information, citing the Food Nutrition Act and Kansas cybersecurity laws. flag Although Kansas offered a compromise plan, the USDA rejected it. flag A federal court has ruled the request “likely unlawful,” halting a potential $10.4 million in withheld SNAP funding. flag Benefits continue uninterrupted, and the case remains before the USDA Appeals Board.
