Snap benefits fraud

200,000 dead people receiving snap benefits. 500,000 receiving double benefits. People getting snap benefits in five different states. When will they all be arrested and pay back the fraud? When will the people responsible for making sure this doesn’t happen be held responsible?

Given all the discussion about the federal supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) benefits that took place while they were threatened and delayed during the recent government shutdown, you’ve probably heard a lot about supposedly fraudulent uses of the program.

In fact, although errors happen on occasion, intentional fraud on the part of SNAP recipients is rare (1). There’s not a problem of too many people “taking advantage” of benefits, but rather, too few: According to the U.S. Census, about one in six people who qualify for SNAP do not participate in the program (2).

So these 700,000 were untitled?
