DSS asks county committee to back resolution asking federal delay to SNAP rule changes
Summary
DSS staff asked the Administration Committee to support a resolution urging state and federal representatives to delay implementation of new SNAP rules, citing potential cost shifts to state and county budgets.
Department of Social Services staff asked the committee to support a resolution requesting that state and federal officials delay implementation of proposed SNAP rule changes, arguing that the changes could shift costs onto counties and creating fiscal strain.
DSS staff distributed a revised resolution and noted the changes are highlighted. Committee members asked who the resolution would be sent to; staff said it is intended for the county's state legislative delegation and federal representatives and seeks messaging to the state and federal levels "so that these costs are not shifted to the state and then a portion of the state could be shifted to the county." The committee discussed whether the state or the federal government was the primary target and affirmed they would send it to both the state and the federal delegation as appropriate.
The committee discussed including language on estimated county costs and confirmed the committee would vote on the resolution at the meeting; the resolution passed with one recorded 'no.'
