What is SNAP?
SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is meant to help the underprivileged, disabled and elderly in society. The food subsidy lends a hand to low-income earners to ensure they have a balanced diet.
The USDA dedicates an entire department of over a hundred employees to enforce their rules and regulations concerning the subsidy. These employees carry out investigative and undercover work to unearth retail store and individuals who are participating in SNAP fraud. They are then charged through a letter called a SNAP violation letter. This letter usually gives a list of all the violations committed and sometimes summons the store or person to court for a disqualification hearing. This is just one of the few penalties that SNAP fraud convicts get.
The EBT Card and Eligible Purchases
On successful application, a person is usually given an EBT Card (Electronic Benefit Transfer Card). They can use this card to purchase specific items that contribute positively to their nutrition. Items such as alcohol, supplements, and cigarettes are not eligible for purchase by the card.
What is SNAP Fraud?
