Snap Back Inaccurate SNAP Payments Act

This bill changes rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps. Currently, states can ignore small payment errors of $56 or less when calculating their error rates, but this bill would require states to count all errors, no matter how small. The bill also requires states to collect back any overpayments they made to SNAP recipients. States with high error rates for two years in a row must pay a penalty, and this bill increases that penalty from 10% to 25% while allowing states to reduce their penalty based on how much money they collect back from overpayments.
