21 States Are At Risk Of Losing SNAP Funding Amid Fraud Investigation
Authored by Savannah Hulsey Pointer via The Epoch Times,
The federal government said it would withhold Supplemental Nutrition Aid Program (SNAP) funds for states that do not report user data.
The news came from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins earlier this week, following months of requests and investigations into instances of fraud within the program.
Here's what to know about the change to the nutrition program.
The Announcement
Rollins made the announcement on Dec. 2 during a White House cabinet meeting, saying that states that have not complied with the federal request have only a few days to fix the issue.
The USDA secretary said the administration “has begun and will begin to stop moving federal funds into those states” next week ”until they comply.“
According to Rollins, 29 Republican-leaning states have already provided SNAP data to her department. However, 21...

USDA Will Withhold SNAP Funds From 21 States That Refused To Provide Data
Via American Greatness,
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says she will be moving to stop federal funding to 21 non-compliant states that have refused to provide data from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
In February, the Trump administration had asked all states to provide their SNAP data to the federal government as part of the administration's efforts to root out waste and fraud in the welfare program.
29 mostly Republican-led states provided the data and revealed 500,000 cases of duplicate benefits as well as 186,000 deceased individuals' Social Security numbers in use.
But 21 mostly Democrat-led states, including California, Minnesota and New York, have dug in their heels and refused to provide the information, citing concerns over privacy.
Secretary Rollins told reporters that if a state refuses to share data on criminal use of SNAP benefits, “it won't get a dollar of federal ...

All SNAP Beneficiaries Will Need To Reapply For Benefits: Agriculture Secretary
Authored by T.J.Muscaro via The Epoch Times,
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins suggested on Nov. 14 that everyone registered for the federal government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits should reapply as a result of ongoing fraud discoveries.
At least, that is what she said when she shared what the Trump administration was planning to enact during her 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 said.
This decision comes after Rollins disclosed on X that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) discovered that nearly 200,000 deceased people across 29 states received benefits.

5,000 Dead People Getting SNAP; 500,000 Getting Benefits Twice: Rollins
Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,
The secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said in a recent interview that the department found that 500,000 people are registered twice for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, while more than 5,000 deceased people have also been receiving the benefits.
In an interview on Nov. 12 with Fox News, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins said that SNAP is one of the “most corrupt, dysfunctional programs” in U.S. history, adding that 80 percent of people using the program are able to work.
After an investigation, the secretary said that 5,000 dead people were getting SNAP, while another 500,000 people were getting SNAP twice under the same name.
“They choose not to work because taxpayers are footing the bill,” she added, saying that “very big announcements” will be coming in the next week.
Her comment was made as SNAP benefits, known as food...
