I see it all the time. Someone sells food stamps for half the value by buying food for someone else, getting cash and going home with someone elses’ prescription Xanax.
It used to be for the very poor and they advertise that family of four making $30,000 or something can be eligible. lol.
Might want to talk to the cops about that, or move out of that house.
Food stamp program fraud is a tad more difficult.
Yes, and some states even allow people to get cash in change when they use food stamp cards. This is just wrong. And now, with all the free meals available in the schools, year-round, plus they send free food home with many of the students, there must be some duplication of our tax dollars supposedly feeding some of the families multiple times.
nope. It’s based on monthly income; if you make $2150 or less you’re eligible. When I was recovering from the hip replacement, I investigated. I was making $7/month too much, with a family of 5.
$25884/year, that.
BTW, YMMV depending on which state you are in, I’m in Oklahoma.
