Snap Back Inaccurate SNAP Payments Act

This bill, titled the "Snap Back Inaccurate SNAP Payments Act," aims to improve the accuracy and reduce taxpayer costs within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by amending the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. A central provision eliminates the current tolerance level for small errors in the calculation of State agency payment error rates, ensuring that starting in fiscal year 2025, all payment errors, regardless of size, will be counted . The legislation also mandates that State agencies shall actively seek to recoup any overpayments made to SNAP benefit recipients. To further incentivize accountability and reduce unrecouped funds, the bill modifies how State agency liability for payment errors is determined, making it more stringent and directly linking it to the percentage of overpayments that are not recouped by the State agency.
