Improper Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments reached more than $10 billion in the U.S. last year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said, highlighting the scale of payment errors as the Trump administration tries to clamp down on the issue.
The USDA said on Wednesday that the national SNAP payment error rate stood at 10.62 percent in Fiscal Year 2025. The figure includes overpayments to ineligible households or those receiving too much aid, as well as underpayments to those receiving too little.
