With 62 percent of counties containing untaxable federal public lands, a majority of America’s counties must still provide vital services to millions of residents and visitors.
* The Payments In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program helps bridge this financial gap for public lands counties.
* Advocacy in action: NACo recently hosted <https://www.mmsend50.com/link.cfm?r=dK5itgU3QMX7KWwJXovkzw~~&pe=03vpX1dzMK64iDbYtXPRknMZoy6tv5MQRQ7RLbUG4hq_Q83JKk5oScSHWl2c60OexlXn4pxFDudM7ql9dCdFzg~~&t=

The clock is ticking for Congress as the fiscal year 2024 budget deliberations continue. A standstill can trigger a federal shutdown, jeopardizing continuous service delivery to our
residents.
* Unified front: Counties are voicing concerns, urging Congress for a bipartisan consensus to ensure continuity.
* NACo’s recent communication to congressional leaders outlines our key priorities <https://www.mmsend50.com/link.cfm?r=dK5itgU3QMX7KWwJXovkzw~~&pe=8r0uv6LsOngiMOJ6wUHf_4JZhLTJSkH5nmsqOibFu7vMuz2qR

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) operates as a pivotal support mechanism for many county residents. Its administration and funding models vary across states, with
some counties shouldering significant portions of the costs.
* State-by-state variance: Notably, 10 states delegate the responsibility of administering SNAP to counties. In these locales, counties also foot the bill for some of the program's overhead
and supplementary expenses.
* SNAP toolkit: NACo’s toolkit <https://www.mmsend50.com/link.cfm?r=dK5itgU3QMX7KWwJXovkzw~~&pe=H29s-JgjKLCshGDEHuvng5kW21UoYtQMlGLt89Cy1_l-ZkZ8w-kvDPuau7vS51h7d-yQe-dBkbpLM2N0fqy38A~~&t=Tr2iaKe0Ie
