House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson, House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member David Scott, Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow, and Senate Agriculture Committee Ranking Member John Boozman, released the following statement today following the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) release of SNAP payment error rates for Fiscal Year 2022:

"The pandemic caused new challenges for USDA and states alike, who took measures to ensure access to SNAP. However, the national error rate as reported today is unacceptable and threatens the integrity of the program. We urge governors and administrators to promptly establish corrective action plans and continue to work with USDA to address the root causes of these errors to improve their program operations, remain accountable to the taxpayer, and most importantly, ensure that benefits are targeted to the people who are the most in need."
