## Resource

Starting in fall 2027, states will shoulder a major new cost for SNAP — the federal food stamp program — after a new law shifts responsibility for payment errors. With states potentially facing over $9 billion in annual costs, officials warn this could lead to reduced benefits or even program cuts. States with error rates above 6% will pay 5–15% of improper payments — a system critics say punishes states for decades of inefficiency, while advocates push for delays to avoid harming families. Some states, like Michigan and New York, could see hundreds to over a billion dollars in new expenses, forcing tough choices: invest in tech, cut staff, or slash benefits — all while millions rely on SNAP to eat.
