Since only the 29 states who reported can be evaluated (the rest ignored the request), we can assume that the problem is much, much, worse.
Here’s an idea: Every SNAP recipient must reapply annually on their anniversary date to make sure that only truly needy American citizens are getting this aid. This would also be a chance to reevaluate each recipient and set work requirements for those who are able-bodied.
Since SNAP is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service, but the states are responsible for running the program and determining eligibility based on federal guidelines, states should be forced to report to the federal government annually.
Across three-fifths of the United States, the Trump administration has found half a million people receiving SNAP benefits twice over and 5,000 dead people receiving them. In deep blue states, the fraud is probably much worse.
It is important to clarify that 20+ states out of the 50 did not comply with the federal government’s request for information on SNAP beneficiaries, likely because they are trying to hide how many illegal aliens are illicitly receiving food stamps. So the horrifying numbers revealed by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show, The Ingraham Angle, are actually incomplete, and will probably be much higher if the administration can make radical Democrat states provide the necessary data.
