Yes, Federal reimbursement for outreach will be reduced to 25 percent, as those costs are also authorized under Section 16(a) of the Act. 7. Would the reimbursement amount for the SNAP outreach Federal fund match be considered State funds? Is this considered non-federal funds that can be reinvested back into SNAP outreach? Section 10106 of OBBB has made no changes to how State agencies treat reimbursements. The reimbursement to the State agency transfers ownership of the funds from the Federal government to the State. The State agency can choose to reinvest those funds back into SNAP outreach. 8. Is SUN Bucks (Summer EBT) impacted by Section 10106 of OBBB? No, Section 10106 of OBBB does not apply to Summer EBT. Summer EBT is separately authorized and has a separate funding authority from SNAP.
