The USDA announced yesterday that Illinois will receive a $3.4 million bonus for its "effective administration" and stewardship of the state's Supplemental Food and Nutrition (SNAP) program.
“Our improved accuracy in the SNAP program is the result of hard work and care-filled effort by our staff,” said DHS Secretary Michelle R. B. Saddler in a press release. “Despite caseloads of 700, 1,000 or even 2,500 per worker, our DHS caseworkers have demonstrated yeoman’s efforts that have paid off not only for the state, but for each individual that we serve. We’ve also made changes to simplify the reporting process for SNAP customers, which has helped us streamline the program and improve accountability.”
