Commissioners approve resolution asking delay or relief from new SNAP error-rate cost-share requirements

County staff briefed commissioners on a forthcoming federal requirement that would hold counties partially responsible for SNAP payment error rates. Staff said Davidson County's error rate has improved to about 7%, but that a federal threshold under the new cost-sharing regime is 6%; if the county did not reduce errors further it could face an unfunded liability. Staff estimated a possible county exposure in the range of $1.5 million to $2 million if corrective actions are not in place.
