Emergency appropriation to the Department of Human Services to reduce payment error rates in SNAP.
The bill provides an emergency appropriation of $5,467,164 to the Department of Human Services for fiscal year 2024-2025. This funding is intended to support the development of a new eligibility system for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The reinvestment is part of a strategy to reduce payment error rates, which were above the national average during the COVID-19 pandemic. Failure to reinvest the funds will result in the state having to pay the full penalty assessed by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service.
