Gretchen Whitmer\u2019s administration \u2014 set to deliver budget recommendations to lawmakers on Feb. 11 \u2014 will need to factor in an estimated $95 million expense to fully cover staffing and training, technology, fraud control and other operational costs previously split with the federal government.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is an ongoing future cost,\u201d said Liz Farmer, a fiscal policy expert and senior officer at The Pew Charitable Trusts, whose research shows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pew.org\/en\/research-and-analysis\/articles\/2026\/01\/14\/as-snap-changes-shift-food-assistance-costs-states-face-new-choices\">states\u2019 collective SNAP costs could eventually rise to $15 billion annually<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to coming up with the additional cash to run the program, Michigan and other states will likely have to consider whether spending more on SNAP system improvements now would be more cost-effective than paying penalties for administrative errors later, Farmer said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne-time moves will get you one-time results.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bridgemi.com\/michigan-government\/tough-decisions-coming-as-michigan-faces-1-billion-budget-hole\/\"><strong>\u2018Tough decisions\u2019 coming as Michigan faces $1 billion budget hole<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bridgemi.com\/michigan-health-watch\/michigan-set-to-lose-millions-under-trump-snap-reforms\/\"><strong>Michigan set to lose millions under Trump SNAP reforms<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bridgemi.com\/michigan-government\/trump-gets-his-big-beautiful-bill-what-it-means-michigan\/\"><strong>Trump gets his \u2018big, beautiful bill.\u2019 What it means for Michigan<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, the federal government will continue to cover the full cost of SNAP benefits. But that could change in future years: Under President Donald Trump\u2019s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the federal government will require states to cover 5% or more of SNAP benefit costs starting in the 2028 fiscal year if the state reports too many mistakes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fns.usda.gov\/snap\/obbb-implementation\">Under the new law<\/a>, the federal government will penalize states that report a SNAP error rate of 6% or more. <a href=\"https:\/\/fns-prod.azureedge.us\/sites\/default\/files\/resource-files\/snap-fy24QC-PER.pdf\">Michigan\u2019s SNAP error rate was 9.53<\/a>% in the 2024 fiscal year, slightly lower than the national average of 10.93%. Calculated at the 2024 rate, the state would have to cover 10% of SNAP costs, or more than $320 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s changing this year&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, the federal government has shared SNAP costs with states, covering benefits and splitting the costs of getting those funds to recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting in October, changes authorized under Trump\u2019s \u201cbig, beautiful\u201d law will increase state costs to a 75%-25% split with the federal government.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It cost a total of $382.7 million in administrative costs to run the SNAP program in Michigan in fiscal year 2024. Assuming no major changes, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is estimating administrative costs will go up from $191.4 million to $287 million under the new law, a $95 million increase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignright is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9649a0d9 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"95d2d6c1-6efd-44fb-bcff-ffd305fef8ba\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Food Assistance in Michigan\"><\/div><script>!function(e,n,i,s){var d=\"InfogramEmbeds\";var o=e.getElementsByTagName(n)[0];if(window[d]&&window[d].initialized)window[d].process&&window[d].process();else if(!e.getElementById(i)){var r=e.createElement(n);r.async=1,r.id=i,r.src=s,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,\"script\",\"infogram-async\",\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\");<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Bipartisan groups like the National Governors Association and the National Conference of State Legislatures are also petitioning the federal government to hold off on the biggest reforms until states have a chance to make adjustments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nga.org\/advocacy-communications\/letters-nga\/nga-joins-coalition-letter-outlining-snap-recommendations\/\">Jan. 8 letter addressed to congressional leaders<\/a>, groups representing a multitude of state and local governments nationwide recommended delaying SNAP benefit and administrative cost shares until fiscal year 2030, citing \u201csignificant operational disruption\u201d caused by the new measures and the recent federal government shutdown that paused assistance for many SNAP recipients last fall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUltimately, we fear that the compounding effects of these developments could put SNAP in jeopardy across the country if states and counties do not receive some form of relief,\u201d they wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Looming future costs?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest change for states is set to come in fiscal year 2028, when the federal government is set to begin penalizing any state with an error rate above the federal threshold of 6%. Only nine states currently operate under that threshold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a \u201cworst case scenario,\u201d Michigan would see a $481 million penalty, David Knezek, chief operating officer of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, testified during a December Senate appropriations subcommittee meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the error rate is anywhere above the federal threshold, the state would need to provide a minimum 5% cost share, totaling $160 million under recent figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State officials cite several factors driving the \u201croot cause\u201d of error, including applicants reporting changes in earned income, fluctuations in household members and the monitoring of unearned income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knezek told lawmakers at the time that the error rate has decreased in the last five years and said the department hopes to \u201ccontinue on that trend,\u201d citing initiatives to reduce future error that include improvements in information technology and the state\u2019s MI Bridges benefits platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Farmer, the Pew Charitable Trusts fiscal policy expert, said many states are currently exploring making additional investments in SNAP administrative costs this budget cycle that are \u201ccentered mostly around reducing their error rates.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat we&#8217;re seeing now is a combination of states looking to just straight up cover that cost, cover that funding loss from the federal government, but also ways in which to make their programs more effective and efficient,\u201d Farmer said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Under pressure&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The looming federal changes come as the Whitmer administration and Michigan lawmakers prepare to enter negotiations for the next budget cycle, where they\u2019ll have at least <a href=\"https:\/\/bridgemi.com\/michigan-government\/tough-decisions-coming-as-michigan-faces-1-billion-budget-hole\/\">$1 billion less to work with<\/a> than previously anticipated, according to the latest state revenue projections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month, State Budget Director Jen Flood told reporters that officials \u201cwill have some tough decisions to make next year\u201d as the state\u2019s General Fund is expected to fall from just under $14.5 billion in the 2025 fiscal year to $14.1 billion in 2026, the current fiscal year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The projections could complicate a budget process that was already fraught last year, as the Republican-led House, Democratic-led Senate and Gov.
