Nearly all Coloradans who go before an administrative court regarding issues with their food-stamp benefits do so without a lawyer — and these individuals are far less likely to win their cases, or even appeal their decisions, than in much of the U.S.
Nearly all Coloradans who go before an administrative court regarding issues with their food-stamp benefits do so without a lawyer — and these low-income individuals are far less likely to win their cases, or even appeal their decisions, than in much of the United States, according to a new report by a state anti-poverty organization.— released Thursday by the Colorado Center on Law and Poverty “reveals a system in turmoil and beneficiaries in crisis.
The Colorado Center on Law and Poverty, through its research, “found that many SNAP beneficiaries encounter problems but do not successfully access hearings, and when they do, lose their hearings at rates that are much higher than national averages,” the authors wrote. “Beneficiaries reported difficulty navigating the appeal process, a finding that was unsurprising given the technical and dense information provided to beneficiaries in notices and on websites.
Just 7.8% of so-called fair hearings went in favor of Colorado SNAP beneficiaries in 2019, compared with 41.4% nationally. Two-thirds of all overpayment cases — in which the county gave a recipient more benefits than they’re owed — were the result of county agency errors. Only three states have a higher proportion of agency errors than Colorado, and only two states doled out more money in agency-error overpayments.
