SNAP Fraud: A $50,000 EBT Card, One Person Getting Benefits from 6 Different States - This Is What Taxpayers Are Funding
If there's any good that's come from the government shutdown, it's exposing all the fraud being committed to exploit the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
To be sure, there are millions of needy Americans who were hurting from being deprived of SNAP as they tried to support children and keep their families from going hungry. This is not about them. This is about the other people -- the individuals who dip into this program unjustly at the expense of the taxpayer.
Just the News reported that Department of Agriculture Deputy Secretary Steven Vaden has indicated his agency is engaging in data collection relating to SNAP across several states to see where funds for the program are going.
So far, what he's uncovered is not promising.
Vaden cited an instance of one individual getting SNAP in six separate states.
Another person had over $50,000 loaded onto their electronic benefits card.
