Washington secures pledge from Fidelity to protect 1M SNAP recipients' data amid privacy concerns.
Washington Attorney General Nick Brown has secured a binding agreement with Fidelity Information Services, the state’s SNAP benefits vendor, ensuring the confidentiality of over 1 million recipients’ data.
The deal follows concerns that the company might share sensitive information with federal immigration authorities, prompting a lawsuit in July 2025 after Fidelity failed to provide consistent assurances.
An investigation confirmed no data had been disclosed, and the new agreement formally reinforces the vendor’s obligation to protect personal information.
The state continues to resist federal requests for SNAP data, emphasizing the legal right to privacy for vulnerable populations.
