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.”
I’d bet 99% of those deceased individuals are receiving benefits to an account that hasn’t been accessed since they died. Meaning the government just never processed the death notification to stop the benefits.
So not actually fraud, just beureaucratic incompetence inherent to these overly complex systems that would be solved by things like UBI or other real social safety nets instead of having a million qualifiers for access.
A little less than a half of a percent of all applicants, for those not doing the math.
checks?. these moronic clowns don’t even know what the fuck they’re raging about.
i bet even shitstain donnie could count the number of ‘blue states’ sending checks for snap benefits.
(hint: it’s ZERO. checks are not used for snap benefits–ebt debit cards are, and it was the iconic coupons known as ‘food stamps’ before that).
I think Darko is probably more than a little offended by abusing his name like that. He was never like that.

More likely the recipient died and it got processed for a couple weeks until the death was processed, then the GOP misrepresents it.
