"In the interim, Gov. JB Pritzker could also lower some of the state’s direct fiscal impact with a big administrative effort — a fact that has been glossed over in pretty much all news coverage so far. ... The reason the state is on the hook for 15 percent of benefit costs is because of its high SNAP payment error rate, which stood at 11.56 percent in fiscal year 2024, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture."

This one will be funny to watch as Pritzker and Democrats get wrapped around their own axle – they’ve never down anything efficiently except grift and pander.
Soo.. if the law holding us accountable for giving pretty much everyone that asks for unneeded, taxpayer funded benefits is going to cost the state, we need to change the law. Akin to letting teachers grade their own job performances and revise what constitutes an education.
This bill is designed to encourage states to run their SNAP programs properly, and with accuracy. Wisconsin does it, so it can be done. The question is will our governor and state employees do the right thing and get to work, or will there just be a lot of whining and complaining?
Get to work thanks for the chuckle.
Exactly as paned eliminating fraud and errors and there’s no cut
If anyone is frantically seeking free food it is Pritzker’s favorite tapeworm Rich Miller. A lifetime of living off handouts from Democrats has eliminated any ability for Miller and his fellow propaganda harpy Shia Kapos to fend for themselves. JB’s fatfolds conceal a limited meal of crumbs so SNAP is a necessity for these parasites.
