SNAP’s QC system uses a tolerance level to set the threshold for determining which errors are included in the national payment error rate calculation. The tolerance threshold will remain at $38 for FY 2016.
This direct final rule is amending the Quality Control (QC) review error threshold in our regulations from $25.00 to $50.00. The purpose for raising the QC error threshold is to make permanent the temporary threshold change that was required by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2008. This change does not have an impact on the public. The QC system measures the accuracy of the eligibility system for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
