Illinois SNAP Errors: A Costly Concern for Taxpayers
Illinois faces potential penalties of up to $700 million due to errors in determining eligibility for food assistance under a new federal law.
The state's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) error rate was 11.56% in 2024, exceeding the national average and ranking worse than 38 other states.
- The error rate could result in annual costs of $705 million for Illinois taxpayers.
- Overpayments accounted for 10.6% of SNAP errors in 2024, while underpayments were rare at less than 1%.
Illinois' comeback story starts here, with increased administrative precision to protect taxpayers and struggling families.
To mitigate these costs, Illinois may follow the lead of other states to improve its administrative processes.
