I had a neighbor who was middle income, they owned their house, had a trailer for traveling and a summer home in the mountains. She got food stamps and went to the food bank on a regular basis. No one ever questioned her on it

I know one couple like that. They collect every form of taxpayer handout possible while he runs his own windshield replacement business. With a “disabled” symbol on the license plate of business truck.

I was middle income and got food stamps for a brief period because I had an evil ex-boss who got me fired over a petty PC complaint and then tried to block me from collecting unemployment. Since it is an income based program and I had no income, we qualified immediately. Eventually, I won the unemployment case and found a job which paid even better. However, it took persistent filing and calling to stop the food stamp benefits. I even offered to return the two months or so which came when I didn't think I was eligible. Believe it or not, they weren't interested in getting it back. So I will probably have to overpay taxes or something to get even.

I've got to wonder how many people are as persistent as I was in stopping a benefit to which we are no longer eligible.

I know the owner of an Asian/Chinese grocery in our city. I questioned him when he put in tanks for Alaskan King Crabs, selling at $40/lb. I asked "who buys those?" He said in fact, its mostly EBT users, particularly immigrants. He pointed to a group of Russians out in the parking lot who had just left his store, getting into a Lexus LX SUV and told me: "they just paid with EBT...."
