The USDA says 700,000 were removed from SNAP. Here's what counts as fraud. [View all]
Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and officials in Ohio announced a joint takedown of fraudulent Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) retailers across the state, issuing formal violation notices to 19 businesses.
Multiple studies have found that SNAP fraud is rare, yet the Trump administration continues to place heavy focus on the issue.
The ongoing issue of states refusing the USDA's request for data about food aid recipients was also reignited last week, when Republican Sen. Rick Scott introduced the SNAP Fraud Reporting Act on June 10. The bill, if passed, would mandate that states submit comprehensive fraud data.
"By passing this legislation, we will create a pathway to identify and crack down on fraud so taxpayers don't get ripped off," Sen. Scott said.
