Fraud Probe Finds 186K Dead People Collecting SNAP Benefits
Vice President JD Vance said at a rally in Iowa that a federal fraud task force had identified significant irregularities in the SNAP program, including 186,000 deceased individuals allegedly still receiving benefits and 355,000 people receiving duplicate payments. He also joked that critics would mischaracterize his remarks, adding that he supports removing benefits from ineligible recipients, including those who are deceased. “That’s what they’re going to say. I actually think that we should take food stamps away from dead people. I’m guilty of that,” Vance told the crowd.
