State covers 25% SNAP administrative match, easing county budget pressure
Summary
Economic Support Manager Lisa Witak reported the State Legislature and Governor approved and signed a bill to cover the 25% administrative match rate previously assigned to counties under the federal budget reconciliation package, avoiding additional county costs to administer FoodShare (SNAP).
Lisa Witak, Economic Support Manager, told the board that the State Legislature and the Governor have approved and signed legislation to cover the 25% administrative match rate that had been assigned to counties under the federal budget reconciliation package. Witak said as a result the SNAP (FoodShare) program will continue to operate without additional financial impact to Oconto County.
Witak’s report framed the change as a state-level funding decision that removes a potential county budget pressure; the board reviewed the report and did not record additional county-level budget actions on this item during the meeting.
