SNAP agencies now spend an average of $4.29 for every $1 lost to fraud, marking the highest cost in five years due to increasing payment accuracy challenges, complex eligibility rules, and sophisticated fraud schemes. A survey of 150 state and county SNAP decision-makers highlights growing operational pressures from federal policy changes, administrative constraints, and the need for timely benefit delivery.
