SNAP Fraud: A Battle Between Privacy and Security
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, is under fire due to fraud, with estimates of nine billion dollars lost annually. The USDA is pushing for individual recipient data, but Democratic-led states are challenging this in court over privacy concerns. Organized crime groups, retailers, and even USDA employees are involved in fraudulent activities. However, advocates argue that fraud is not as widespread as the USDA suggests, and many legitimate recipients face challenges due to administrative errors.
