During the Trump Cabinet Meeting this week, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the government shutdown shone a light on the fraud and abuse in the SNAP food stamp program. "So much rampant fraud in a program that 42 million Americans participate in," said Rollins. "Since you [Trump] became president, about 800,000 of those 42 million have moved off of food stamps. But still, when we found 186,000 dead people with dead people's social security numbers being used, 500,000 people receiving benefits more than twice. We had a couple of people receiving benefits in six states." "In February of this year, we asked for all states for the first time to turn over their data to the federal government to let the USDA partner with them to root out this fraud," she said. "Twenty-nine states said yes. Not surprisingly, the red states. And that's where all of that data that fraud comes from." "But 21 states, including California, New York, and Minnesota, blue states, continue to say no," the secretary said. "So, as of next week, we have begun and will begin to stop moving federal funds into those states until they comply."
