SNAP benefits will soon be tied to error rates. These states are in the biggest trouble [View all]

(NEXSTAR) – States have been put on notice: Stop making so many mistakes, or lose funding for food assistance.

Starting with the 2028 fiscal year, states with an error rate of higher than 6% will start losing federal funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. If the reform were to take effect immediately, only eight states would make the cut and receive full funding.

The state with the largest gap to close by far is Alaska, where the error rate was most recently logged at 25%. Believe it or not, it’s a big improvement from the state’s 60% error rate the year before.

Other states with relatively high error rates include Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York and Oregon. They make mistakes in 14% to 16% of cases.
