Snap Back Inaccurate SNAP Payments Act
This bill changes how state agencies handle overpayments in the SNAP program (food stamps). Starting in fiscal year 2025, states must recoup all overpaid benefits (setting a $0 tolerance for small errors), and their SNAP error rate calculations will now factor in the percentage of overpayments they actually recoup. The bill requires states to actively seek repayment of all overpaid benefits, replacing previous allowances for minor errors. This directly affects state SNAP agencies responsible for administering the program and managing benefit payments.
