Federal policy changes can land hard on local budgets with little warning. Counties ataff are reworking assignments and absorbing new costs as a federal overhaul shifts SNAP administrative costs onto counties serving millions of New Yorkers.
An estimated $168 million in new annual costs will fall to New York’s 57 counties and NYC (and their taxpayers) in just three months, absent congressional action.
NYSAC strongly encourages county officials to review the proposed changes and submit comments. Comments are due by the end of the day on July 13 and can be filed at regulations.gov under docket OMB-2026-0034.
