Summary
New federal rules shift more SNAP administrative costs to states and counties and impose penalties based on payment error rates. Nash County's DSS explained the county's error rate is 0%, but all counties share the penalty if the state misses targets. The board asked Congress to delay the requirement until 2030.

Impact analysis
The county's reimbursed SNAP admin costs could drop from about half to a quarter, adding roughly $1.3 million in annual local burden.
All 100 North Carolina counties would benefit from a delay while error rates improve.
County taxpayers would absorb higher administrative costs if the delay is not granted.
