Democrats Pick Fight over How GOP’s SNAP Change Hits States

  • On July 6, Oklahoma nonprofit leaders warned that new SNAP rules in a federal bill will create a food crisis by shifting costs to states.
  • This federal legislation arose after Alaska and other states recorded high SNAP payment error rates above 6%, triggering requirements to share benefit costs starting in 2028.
  • Alaska faces the highest error rate in the nation at 24.66%, partly due to staff cuts under Governor Dunleavy, resulting in $12 million federal fines and delayed benefit processing.
  • Senator Murkowski secured a two-year reprieve for Alaska and other states with the highest error rates, though Democrats criticize this as rewarding errors and insufficient for most states.
  • The new SNAP cost-sharing rules will pressure strained state budgets from 2028 onward, prompting calls for improved oversight and concern over worsening food insecurity nationwide.
