YORK, SC Seven Rock Hill women who received food stamps pleaded guilty Thursday to more than $20,000 in food stamp fraud at a Rock Hill store. Three of the store owners now face up to five years in prison for a $5 million food stamp trafficking scheme.

All who pleaded guilty Thursday in state court in York have to pay the money back to avoid jail time and probation.

The seven who pleaded guilty Thursday are: Kimberly Johnson, 28, $2,195 in fraud; Victoria Sanders, 25, $2,234; Dequitta White, 31, $3,070; Jatonica Williams, 31, $5,238; Brooke Rogers, 27, $2,134; Shanisa Davis, 36, $2,549; and Labrecia White, 24, $2,962.

Johnson pleaded guilty by herself. The other six pled in two groups of three.

The Dems have assured me that Food Stamp fraud and voting fraud are figments of my imagination.

I STILL have money left on a Food Stamp EBT card from months ago. I thought it strange that money came in the next month even though I went back to work and called them to report the same.

They told me that we would need to mail in a pay stub and other forms to prove I was no longer eligible, but in the meantime they would take us off as not wanting the benefit. So I then offered to pay back the money for the month my EBT card had gotten extra funds after I started working and they told me there was no way to do that. Just use it and enjoy it.

Seriously, I think they thought I was nuts just for doing what I thought you were supposed to do. Oh yes, I eventually got the forms I was promised and sent in the documents they needed to prove we were no longer eligible for the program.

Seriously, I have to wonder how many people would be as persistent as we were to get off a government program.

FWIW, the monthly food stamp allowance was more than what we spend on food as working class stiffs. And I used to wonder how the EBT card users could buy food we couldn't afford.

Welfare Dept. in our state under Rendell was ordered to “Don’t verify. Qualify.”
