Wait until they figure out that some people collected benefits from multiple states simultaneously - MA, NH, RI, CT.

Feds need to stop throwing money at the states.  States should only be re-imbursed 95% for GAO audited program items.  States need to chip in 5% so they have skin in the game.  Requiring GAO audits prior to reimbursement will reduce fraud be forcing financial controls upon Federal monies administered by states.

States see Federal funds as found money that can be misspent frivolously.

Feds should also clawback 300% for fraudulent state administered program items.

There need to be consequences to states who misspend Federal funds and there needs to be rewards to states who spend Federal funds responsibly.

Two Boston convenience store owners are facing federal charges in connection with a scheme that prosecutors say involved more than $7 million in fraudulent SNAP benefits.

Saul Alisme, owner of the Saul Macho Store, and Antonio Bonheur, owner of the Jesula Variety Store, are accused of exchanging SNAP benefits for cash.

At a Wednesday afternoon press conference, Leah Foley, the U.S. attorney for Massachusetts, said the two businesses operated out of a shared storefront in Mattapan. Foley said the two stores redeemed far more SNAP benefits than their limited inventory could reasonably support.

“These were not supermarkets,” Foley said. “It would be a huge stretch to even call them convenience stores.”

Foley said one of the stores measured less than 150 square feet in size and had “no carriages, no hand baskets and very little food.” ...
