Arizona's Budget Cuts Hit SNAP, Overwhelm DES
Description
Arizonas Republican-led legislature passes a budget with significant cuts to state agencies, particularly impacting the Department of Economic Security that manages SNAP. The budget, which includes tax cuts, ignores DESs request for additional staffing, leading to overwhelmed teams and delayed applications. The state also plans to increase eligibility checks and reduce SNAP errors, but currently falls short with an eight point eight percent error rate. Governor Katie Hobbs is expected to veto the cuts and tax breaks, potentially restarting negotiations.
