New data shows that Illinois’ SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) Payment Error Rate has gotten even worse, climbing to 14.67 percent from 11.56 percent in just one year. Thanks to this unacceptable mismanagement of federal funds by the Governor and the Democrats in charge of our state policies, Illinois taxpayers are staring at extra costs of up to $550 million annually to cover these administrative errors!
Illinois has the sixth-highest SNAP payment error rate in the nation (when including Washington D.C.), and our error rate is much higher than our neighboring Midwestern states. This outrageous waste of resources paints another picture of the incompetence and fiscally irresponsible policies we have had to endure under the Pritzker administration. The impacts to future state budgets will be staggering, and more tax increases are likely to come to cover up these types of unacceptable mistakes.
