Why Congress Shouldn’t Change SNAP’s New Payment Error Approach (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Payment errors in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) have received considerable attention in recent months. While much of the debate has revolved around the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s (OBBBA) new requirements surrounding SNAP payment errors and the impact on states, many have overlooked the people most affected by improper payments—low-income households. The national SNAP payment error has hovered around 10 percent in recent years, accounting for almost
30 Years of Welfare Reform and the Path Forward (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thirty years ago this month, President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), popularly known as welfare reform. When the legislation was signed, no one could have known how profoundly this bipartisan reform would reshape the U.S. welfare system and the lives of the mothers and children who depended on it.

Welfare Reform 30 Years Later: How Has Government Assistance Changed? (opens the original)
Read excerpt

This remains a sharp departure from average payment error rates of 6.6 percent before the pandemic (from 2017-2019). Following the substantial changes made to SNAP in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), SNAP’s yearly payment errors are of particular i
The End of the Food Security Supplement in the Current Population Survey: Next Steps (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since 1996, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has published an annual report on household food insecurity in the United States, which policymakers, program administrators, the media, and researchers closely follow. This report is based on data collected through the Food Security Supplement, which the US Census Bureau had included every December in its Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly household survey. In 2025, the USDA stopped including the Food Security Supplement on the CPS, es
