(Crankers) Hey, if you have $200 in food stamps, but you want to go to Walmart and buy a couple of size DDD bras – then just trade your food stamps to someone for cash.
Now that’s probably a form of fraud and you’ll probably get arrested for it, but at least your big back will look sweet in those new Walmart bras on the way to court!
Forget about feeding your 12 kids, let the 11 dads do all the work! Just treat yourself, mama! You worked hard all day sitting on the couch scrolling social media and forgetting to pick up your kids at school. You deserve this little food stamp fraud treat!
Actually, no you don’t. You don’t deserve anything.
Brooke Rollins exposed the depth of fraudulent use via food stamps: “We know the SNAP program is rife with fraud… what we’ve found is stunning. 186,000 deceased individuals receiving benefits, 500,000 getting two times the benefits, we found thousands of individuals getting benefits in 6 different states. It is one thing after another.”
WELL GOSH!!! How dare a person want to break the law and get away with it. HOW DARE THEY!!!
You want to know how bad this really is?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) experiences billions of dollars in losses each year through a combination of fraud, theft, and improper payments, according to recent federal reports.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that in Fiscal Year 2023, about 11.7% of SNAP payments were improper. That equals roughly $10.5 billion out of about $90 billion in total benefit payments. Improper payments include both errors and overpayments — not all of which are intentional fraud.
Separate investigations and statements from USDA officials suggest the total amount lost to fraud, trafficking, and benefit theft may be higher. One USDA estimate indicated the figure could be as high as $12 billion per year when including stolen benefits and criminal activity involving EBT cards.
Data from early Fiscal Year 2025 showed states reported more than $102 million in stolen SNAP benefits in just the first quarter, compared to about $69 million during the same period the previous year, showing a noticeable increase in theft and card skimming incidents.
Trafficking — trading SNAP benefits for cash or non-eligible items — remains part of the problem, although USDA data indicates the rate has been reduced over time. The USDA continues working on oversight issues, including improving EBT security and strengthening state enforcement.
SNAP is one of the largest federal assistance programs, costing nearly $100 billion annually, so even small percentage losses result in large financial impacts.
So basically, between improper payments, fraud, trafficking, and theft, recent estimates place total SNAP losses somewhere between $10–12 billion each year, according to federal data and investigative reporting.
