So I'm going to spend a little time and talk about the SNAP benefit cost sharing based on payment error rates. So the state of Alaska— well, the rule outlined that states that are above 6% of error rate could be subject or will be subject to paying a portion of the SNAP benefits. On this slide, you'll see the scenarios based on a projection of our SNAP benefits. So we're projecting out to 2030 what we'll pay out in SNAP benefits. So at 5%, if our error rate's between 6 and 8%, the cost to the state of Alaska in 2030 would be about $16 million.
