SNAP, welfare, or food stamps, regardless of the name they all point to benefits designed to feed the underprivileged.  Fraud has existed almost from the first day of the program’s inception back in 1939. SNAP has dramatically expanded over the decades, with a current national budget of $127 Billion. SNAP cards are now being cloned, with fraudsters getting away with millions, and the legitimate beneficiaries requesting repayments by the states.  This episode of the FraudKast looks at the SNAP program and the challenges associated with running such a large national program with millions of beneficiaries, and how fraud is taking place.
