Dozens of states could face new costs because of high error rates in SNAP food aid

1. "Errors" (even underpayments) are ALL fraud in Trumpublican-speak.

Doesn't matter if the error is easily remedied, inadvertent, or if it was an error on the part of the state that resulted in underpayments, to the propagandists it is all "fraud."

And, perhaps unsurprisingly in Trump's 1984 executive branch, a wrongful denial of SNAP benefits is not counted as part of the standard SNAP Payment Error Rate (PER).

So, the best way to keep the "error rate" low is to deny, deny, deny, deny, and deny some more.

Furthermore, the systems used to detect the "errors" themselves have a completely unacceptable error rate. (i.e., flag problems that are not actually problems, particularly with the greater use of AI.)
