Understanding SNAP Violations: A Crash Course

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of defending against SNAP violations, let’s ensure you have a solid grasp of what they entail. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps, is a federal program overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Its purpose? Providing low-income households with financial assistance for purchasing food.However, with great assistance comes great responsibility. The USDA doesn’t take violations of SNAP regulations lightly, and the consequences can be severe. Some common examples of violations include:

• Trafficking SNAP benefits (exchanging them for cash, drugs, or other ineligible items)
• Allowing ineligible purchases
• Falsifying information during the application process
• Failing to maintain proper records or train employees

Penalties can range from temporary disqualification to permanent removal from the SNAP program, not to mention hefty fines. 1

The 10-Day Window: Act Fast, Act Smart

If you’ve received a SNAP violation charge letter, time is of the essence. You typically have a mere 10 days to respond, a shockingly short timeframe that underscores the urgency of seeking legal counsel immediately. 2At this stage, it’s crucial to avoid any missteps that could jeopardize your defense. Don’t call the USDA officials, don’t send additional documentation without legal review, and certainly don’t admit guilt – even if you believe you’ve made an honest mistake.Remember, the charge letter indicates the USDA’s intention to disqualify you from the program. They have evidence, whether circumstantial or concrete, and they want you out. Trying to go it alone at this point is akin to bringing a butter knife to a gunfight.

When you enlist the services of Spodek Law Group, we hit the ground running with a multi-pronged approach tailored to your unique situation. Our battle-tested strategies include:

1. Meticulous Evidence Review and Case Preparation

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
