WHEREAS, the Federal Reconciliation Bill (H.R.1) signed into law on July 4, 2025, imposes significant
financial penalties on states that exceed a 6 percent error rate in administering the federal Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which in Wisconsin is called FoodShare; and,

strengthen program administration, improve quality assurance activities, and reduce FoodShare error rates to
ensure compliance with federal requirements; and
WHEREAS, 2025 Wisconsin Act 116 was enacted in response to changes in federal SNAP requirements and
provides resources to support enhanced review of benefit eligibility determinations and certifications prior to
benefit issuance; and
WHEREAS, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services has made funding available to Income Maintenance
agencies for staffing necessary to conduct quality assurance reviews and other activities required under the
provisions of Act 116; and
WHEREAS, the addition of one (1.0 FTE) Economic Support Specialist position will support the County's ability
to meet state and federal performance standards, maintain program integrity, reduce payment error rates, and
ensure timely and accurate eligibility determinations; and

Wisconsin Act 116 and any related state Income Maintenance allocations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Department of Health and Human Services are authorized to recruit

requirement by $2,208. By adding a position, Buffalo County will be able to claim an estimated $27,032 of
AMSO and indirect, with a 50% reimbursement rate, recognizing an estimated $13,516.09 in levy savings.
