Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday said the Trump administration is planning to have all Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries reapply for the program due to alleged fraud.
The secretary said after receiving data on SNAP recipients from 29 red states that “186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check.”
“Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data what we’re going to find?” she asked during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
“It’s going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable, and they can’t survive without it,” she added.
Every state has a periodic recertification process that requires SNAP or food stamp recipients to update their whereabouts and earnings, according to the Department of Agriculture (USDA). Most municipalities require updated data every six to 12 months.
“Secretary Rollins wants to ensure the fraud, waste, and incessant abuse of SNAP ends,” a USDA spokesperson said in a statement to The Hill. “Rates of fraud were only previously assumed, and President Trump is doing something about it. Using standard recertification processes for households is a part of that work. As well as ongoing analysis of State data, further regulatory work, and improved collaboration with States. “

Sounds good to me~ lol
Hee hee hee hee ha ha.
They have to go back ... to the back of the line.
Now do Section 8.
Look out...when you get between ppl and food they go mental.
I sure am liking my local 7-11 these days!! more than half the feral population is no where to be seen!! no garbage all over the floor... no litter in the parking lot and surrounding areas... life is good...
Winning!
Ha haaaaaas!
Oh come on! Dead people have to eat, too.
Now do Security Clearances, Background Checks, and Loyalty Tests.
Out of An Abundance Of Caution
What’s the over/under on how many people this reapplication will cull off the SNAP roles? 5 million, more or less?
From 39 red states????? What the eff? The other States should be on their own.
So the blue states get to continue doing business as usual? Eff that!
Now. Do. Maryland!!!!!!
Only way to filter out the crooks.
Requiring all SNAP recipients to register to continue receiving benefits will weed out much of the fraud and abuse that has existed in the program for decades. It will save the taxpayers billions annually.
You should see the nice McMansions and historic huge old houses converted to apartments and Craftsman style homes with tons of “ south of the border” boarders in them here.
It’s insane.
……braaaaaaaaains
