A new report shows that nearly 10 percent of non-Medicaid food-stamp recipients in New Hampshire actually live outside the state. WMUR reports:
After an audit of 24,355 non-Medicaid food stamp recipients in New Hampshire, the report shows 2,200 hold a primary address outside of the state. [...]
“We are up to a potential in that program alone of up to $41 million worth of payments that may be questionable,” said House Speaker Bill O’Brien.
The report also cites cases of incarcerated or deceased residents getting benefits, including one where the recipient may have been dead since 1983.

ANCHOR: A new report shows that a disturbing number of people collecting entitlement benefits here in New Hampshire may actually be living out of state. After an audit of roughly 25,000 non-Medicaid food stamp recipients in New Hampshire, the report shows that nearly 10

do I really have to say it???
New Hampshire started going libertarian and voting for Democrat liberals. Here is the stupid you get when you flirt with libertarians.
They may have out of state addresses but I’ll bet that you’ll have to go to Hawaii or the Bahamas to find them. This is a common problem in most states.
Howie Carr PING list, please.
I thought libertarians are against taxes and government handouts?
Here on west coast, they hand out government benefits without requiring proof of citizenship or even a picture ID. That is how liberal mindset works. I observe every time so many non-English speaking people using food stamps at the check out line. Mostly Spanish speaking and Russian speaking people.
I bet most of them are drawing food stamps in two or three states. I don’t think the states talk to one another despite Federal tax dollars funding the programs.
Should offer adult orphanages for long term welfare recipients. They could use old Army barracks and have former Drill Sargent manage them.
And I’d bet that same 10% is double dipping in what ever state they are actually in as well.
My estimate is that more that 50 percent of all recipients are illegals or as the government says (should not be receiving aid). This is what we’ve come to. Aid for any and all that apply.
Shouldn’t they be getting food stamps in their wn state?
Okay, many of them probably do. SOme of them get food stamps from 2 different states, I would not doubt.
I heard the Octomom was getting $2000 a month in food stamps. dang.
bring back the workhouse for the abled bodied poor!
And they wonder why they are near bankrupt!!
Perhaps they should teach a “how to work the system” class in Government School (this is actually taught informally, but I’m suggesting making it into a formal class). You could probably do rather well for yourself, if you worked at it.
In IL food stamps are handled with an electronic credit card. You have an EBT (Electronic Benefit Card) that's credited once per month. When you go to the store, you pick out the approved staples and then swipe the state's debit card at the checkout. The amount is debited to your account. The receipt shows what your balance is. If you wipe out the balance, you don't get the new electronic fund credit until your certain day of a given month (example: the 10th).
Benefits continue if you remain out of work or are part-time; they stop when you get full-time work. Benefits are good for six months and then you must reapply.
Down at the Indian casinos in Connecticut would be an easy guess.
Plus a solid third are Acorn crooks, the core of the Obama voters
New Hampshire one out of 10 welfare parasites whoops I meant Obama voters don’t even live in the state. They collect welfare in multiple locations and vote in the same locations for the parasite party.
I love when you see one of these welfare leeches buying beer and expensive luxury foods that I can’t even afford.
No question. But hey the government workers who should have been paying attention all along are probably too busy with union activities or trying to figure out how they can boost their pensions.
