The United States Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) recently released data showing that millions of Americans are not receiving the correct amount of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The overall SNAP payment error rate for the 2023 fiscal year was 11.68 percent, with overpayments accounting for 10.03 percent and underpayments for 1.65 percent. These errors occur when state agencies incorrectly determine a household's eligibility for SNAP benefits. The FNS emphasized that errors are primarily due to inaccuracies in determining eligibility and benefit amounts, rather than fraud.
