We Sent a Letter to Every Governor in America Over Food Stamp Program Data
No one had ever held the states accountable. The federal government funds the food stamp program. We send hundreds of millions of dollars a day to the states, but there’d never been a back-end accountability on how is the food stamp program money is getting spent. So we asked all the states to partner with us. It’s time to have accountability for the fraud.
Which States Provided Data to Weed Out Fraud
The red states of course, did. and with that red state data, we found 200,000 dead people getting food stamps. We found half a million people that were getting more than one benefit. This was in the red states. The blue states wouldn’t give us the data. They’re suing us. We’re in massive litigation right now, looking to cut those food stamp program funds off until they give us that data.
How Far does Food Stamp Fraud Go
The fraud is so rampant and so stunning that when the president, the vice president, and our team talks about, you know, when we can root all this fraud out, we’re going to really be able to cut the deficit, make sure we’re protecting the taxpayer, but also make sure we’re protecting the families that rely on food stamp programs at the same time and by getting the fraud out.
