Topic	Trump admin wants to partially replace food stamps with food deliveries
gunplagirl 02/13/18 11:55:12 AM #50:	Darkman124 posted... Asherlee10 posted... Does anyone know if there are any stats on how often someone with 'food stamps' sells them at a lower cost for cash? SNAP collects fraud data on this very specific, exact as you wrote, action https://www.fns.usda.gov/fraud/what-snap-fraud SNAP fraud is when SNAP benefits are exchanged for cash. This is called trafficking and it is against the law. The trafficking rate in SNAP has dropped dramatically. Due to increased oversight and improvements to program management by USDA, the trafficking rate has fallen significantly over the last two decades, from about 4 cents on the dollar in 1993 to about 1 cent in 2006-08 (most recent data available). Is that accounting for people who violate the terms of SNAP benefits by also gifting food to others outside their household? I actually know a few people who tried to donate food to food banks when they could even though they were receiving SNAP benefits. :/ Still more than I hear most well off people donating. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:896003842] in Trump admi...
