Requiring the Department of Human Services to develop a certain process to address Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program administrative errors.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Human Services to create a detailed plan to identify and fix administrative mistakes within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is a federal program that provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families. The plan must include ways to systematically review SNAP administrative errors, develop strategies to reduce these errors, such as improving how eligibility for the program is determined, and track the progress of these strategies. The Department will also aim to achieve error rates that are as good as the best-performing state in the country, as determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
