Social Services warns of new SNAP administration costs for 2027; new eligibility worker introduced and contracts approved
Summary
Social Services Director Chris Kujava told the board SNAP administration will carry new county costs in 2027; the board approved Medica MSHO and SNBC contracts, recorded director actions and approved $105,411.27 in bills and case activity. A new eligibility worker, Jasmin Hays, was introduced.
Social Services Director Chris Kujava informed the Marshall County Board on June 16 that the county will face new costs for SNAP administration in 2027.
Kujava presented several items under the department’s general business. She reported a SNAP administration update and warned that implementation changes will require additional county expense in 2027; the director did not provide a specific dollar estimate during the meeting. The board was also given '2027 Budget Direction' as a planning item.
During personnel updates the board was introduced to new eligibility worker Jasmin Hays; the minutes record the introduction and the board wished her well in county employment. The minutes do not specify who formally introduced Hays.
Under licensing and contracts the board approved the Medica MSHO and SNBC contracts (motion carried 5-0). The board also approved case activity, director actions and bills in the amount of $105,411.27 (motion carried 5-0).
What happens next: Social Services will proceed with budget planning for 2027 to account for the expected SNAP administration costs. The minutes record approvals but do not include contract details or the SNAP cost estimate; staff follow-up is implied for budgeting purposes.
