Virginia’s SNAP Crisis Deepens | Richmond News

Virginia’s SNAP program is facing a major financial crunch, with potential annual costs soaring by $94 million as federal law shifts 50% to 75% of administrative expenses to states. An additional $260 million could be on the table if Virginia can’t slash its payment error rate below 6% by 2027—currently sitting at over 12%. Real-world fallout is already visible: nearly 2.5 million Virginians have stopped using SNAP due to stricter work requirements and access barriers. Advocacy groups are urgently urging Congress to pause these cost shifts before lawmakers return next week, as states scramble to adapt under mounting pressure.
