WASHINGTON (TNND) — Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said that nearly 700,000 SNAP fraudsters have been found in cooperating states, calling it the “tip of the iceberg.”
“Under @POTUS and @VP’s leadership, we’re winning the fight against SNAP fraud,” Rollins posted on X Sunday.
“Right after I took office, we asked every state to share their data so we could go after the fraud we knew was plaguing the program. Red states, and even a few blue, stepped up. What we uncovered was staggering:
Nearly 200,000 fraudsters using dead people’s Social Security numbers
Nearly 500,000 fraudsters collecting benefits in multiple states”
