When three different family members allegedly steal from a federal program meant to help feed low-income families, you can bet that many others are ripping off taxpayers as well.
A man from Yazoo City, Mississippi, pleaded guilty on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, in federal court to stealing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits intended for low-income families to supplement their grocery budget so they can afford nutritious food.
He is the third sibling to plead guilty to stealing SNAP benefits, according to the Department of Justice
According to court documents, Christopher Hill, 43, of Yazoo City, unlawfully acquired and used about $116,893.48 in SNAP benefits from approximately August 2022 through November 2023, through his sister’s employment as a Customer Service Representative for Conduent.
Conduent plays a key role in Electronic Benefits Transfer processing by partnering directly with state governments to manage the distribution of benefits such as SNAP. SNAP, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, is a federally funded, national benefit program to help qualifying low- and middle-income families buy food, thus reducing hunger.
Hill pleaded guilty to Food Stamp Fraud and will be sentenced on August 21, 2026.
Hill’s sister, Kizzie Hill, pleaded guilty to the same crime on December 19, 2025, and is awaiting sentencing.
