New York counties face $170M in additional SNAP costs
Original: New York counties face $170M in additional SNAP costs as Hochul stops short of promising relief
New York counties are confronting an estimated $170 million in additional SNAP costs, while Governor Kathy Hochul has declined to promise state relief for the shortfall. County governments, which share administrative responsibility for the food assistance program, are pressing the state for help covering the added expenses, but Hochul has stopped short of committing to a funding solution.
Why now: Counties are facing a large new financial burden and the governor's refusal to promise relief has drawn attention.
