Human Services committee advances resolution urging two‑year delay to SNAP cost shifts
Summary
The Yates County Human Services Committee advanced a resolution urging a two‑year delay of federal SNAP administrative and benefit cost shifts under H.R.1, with Social Services Director Amy Miller estimating a local fiscal impact of about $55,000 per month if counties were required to pay a 15% share.
The Yates County Human Services Committee on Aug. 3 advanced a resolution calling on federal and state authorities to delay for two years the administrative and benefit cost shifts to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) enacted under H.R.1. Social Services Director Amy Miller told the committee the county could face a direct budget impact, saying, "It would be around $55,000 a month if they were to be required to pay the 15%." The committee placed the resolution on the slate to go to the full Legislature after discussion and edits and recorded no formal objections.
Miller framed the measure as a county-level appeal for state action if the federal government does not provide relief; the committee accepted her report as information and did not take formal votes at the meeting. The item will be considered by the Yates County Legislature at its next legislative meeting. The discussion centered on budget implications for county-administered programs and on asking the Legislature to seek state-level protections for counties should the federal shift proceed.
