I am pleased to inform you that New York State, as part of a coalition of states, successfully settled all prior Food Stamp error rate sanctions imposed pursuant to the quality control process by the United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). This settlement covers the 1986-91 period. The settlement reduces the amount owed to FNS to 15% of the total original sanction. The settlement permits the amount owed to FNS to be reinvested in programs intended to reduce errors rather than paid directly to FNS. The details of this settlement are explained below.
