Expressing support for continued efforts to safeguard the supplemental nutrition assistance program under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 from fraud, waste, and abuse for the Nation's most vulnerable.
This resolution expresses House support for efforts to combat fraud, waste, and abuse in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP, which serves low-income individuals and families. The resolution cites data from 29 states that shared fraud information with the Department of Agriculture, reporting issues such as 186,000 deceased recipients still receiving benefits, over 440,000 recipients using improper Social Security numbers, more than 247,000 individuals receiving benefits in multiple states, and approximately $3 billion in fraudulent benefits. The resolution applauds the Trump administration's efforts to identify and prosecute SNAP fraud and emphasizes the importance of program integrity to protect both taxpayer dollars and ensure resources reach those truly eligible. No specific funding or timeline is allocated by this resolution, as it is a non-binding statement of congressional support rather than legislation that authorizes spending or requires action.
