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.
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.
EBT cards work like credit cards for anyone getting government assistance, with funds rolling over to the following month.
On the case of a $50,000 card, Vaden clarified, “[Taxpayers] especially have a right to rest assured that only those who truly need are benefitting from the program, because every dollar you give to someone who has a balance of more than $15,000 on their EBT card cannot go to someone who is truly in need.”

As we uncover more, the Democratic narrative that SNAP is only going to the needy and hungry falls apart when faced with reality.
