States would have to count every SNAP payment error, no matter how small. They would also have to try to get back any SNAP benefits paid by mistake. States that recover more overpayments could lower the error rate used to decide what they owe.

Latest action on H.R. 762: Referred to the Subcommittee on Nutrition and Foreign Agriculture.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects state SNAP agencies, because they would have to track all payment errors and try to recover all overpaid benefits. SNAP households could also be affected if a state tries to collect money after paying too much. Taxpayers and the federal government could be affected if the changes reduce mistaken payments or shift more costs to states.
Why this matters: SNAP payment mistakes affect families, state budgets, and taxpayer money. This bill would make states count every mistake and push them to recover overpaid benefits. That could make SNAP payments more accurate. It could also add work for states and lead to more collection efforts against low-income households.
