I did want to call to your attention this recently released report from the Center on Poverty and Inequality from Georgetown Law which analyzes the impact on state budgets of federal legislation:
OBBBA introduced a new state matching requirement for benefits and increased the state share of administrative costs. Under OBBBA, states must cover part of the benefit costs for the first time, and their share of administrative costs will rise from 50 percent to 75 percent.
Click through to see the map on which you can hover; I share this because this is the result for Massachusetts:
 |
| The text reads: |
| State Cost Share Pre-OBBBA: $91,939,795 | State Cost Share Post-OBBBA: $530,559,697 | Increase in SNAP Share of State Budget 477% |
I am fairly certain that no one in Massachusetts is budgeting for that, or even is able to.
