GIVE ME FIVE! 2007 Food Stamp Accuracy Campaign
We’ve set campaign sights on attaining 95% Food Stamp Program payment accuracy for 2007. Nearly three months of the Quality Assessment sample are complete, and we are off to a good start. Our accuracy rate now stands at 93.8%. On a hopeful note, we often get off to a slow start, yet this year is a bit better than we’ve been at this point in the past few years. A couple of client-caused errors pushed the rate up, so I’m confident that our improving agency-caused error rate is a good sign that will carry us to our accuracy goal.
Early on in the sample year the Southeast Region is at 100% accuracy. The Central Region is right at our target of 95% accuracy, with the help of perfect results from the Muldoon, Gambell and Mat-Su APA offices. The Northern Region is close to our goal with 94.4% accuracy. You can always check on the latest stats and how your office is doing by clicking on the
