Indiana is among dozens of states facing potential new costs for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Federal officials are preparing to tie state funding responsibilities to payment error rates. A federal law passed in 2025 requires states to reduce their SNAP payment error rate below 6% or begin covering a portion of benefit costs previously paid by the federal government. States with error rates exceeding the federal threshold could be responsible for paying between 5% and 15% of SNAP benefit costs beginning in October 2027. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that this financial burden could lead some states to cut or eliminate assistance for approximately 300,000 people nationwide. The changes come as SNAP enrollment has declined nationwide following stricter eligibility requirements.
