Tell your lawmakers: Minnesota needs more time to improve SNAP

Federal lawmakers are currently considering a two-year delay in implementing new federal mandates that would put Minnesota taxpayers on the hook for paying $145 million more per year as soon as October of 2027, as the federal government seeks to shift benefit costs to the states for the first time. Contact your federal lawmakers today and tell them to give states like Minnesota more time to improve SNAP—including by lowering payment error rates—which will both help families facing hunger and avoid higher costs for all Minnesotans.
