Federal changes to SNAP could cost Minnesota more than $100M per year
Federal changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act could cost Minnesota up to $250 million annually. The law requires states with higher payment error rates to cover a larger share of SNAP costs, and Minnesota's error rate increased from 9% in 2024 to 12% in 2025. The state must now cover 75% of administrative costs for the program, up from 50%.
