Federal lawmakers passed changes to work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as part of the Big Beautiful Bill Act this year.

Earlier this month, Florida lawmakers learned that the state had a 15% error rate in 2024, which will soon cost the state roughly $1 billion a year.
