Good morning, Chicago.

Several dozen states — including Illinois — could have to fork over millions of dollars to provide food aid to lower-income residents, if they don’t cut down on payment errors in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Nine states, meanwhile, won’t have to pay a penny toward SNAP benefits, because their error rates are so low that they won an exemption from a cost-sharing requirement included in a big tax-and-spending law signed by President Donald Trump.

Data released yesterday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture provides a first look at the winners — and potential losers — under the new law.

Here are the top stories you need to know to start your day, including another candidate announces a run for Chicago mayor, the Cubs’ Dansby Swanson has a historic doubleheader and our picks for what to do in Chicago this weekend.

Cook County sheriff signals support for dedicated transit law enforcement agency

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, whose police officers have been deployed on the CTA for several months, said yesterday that a dedicated police force should be responsible for law enforcement on public transit.
