Under the argument that there is alleged fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Department of Agriculture (USDA) is considering the possibility of requiring all current beneficiaries to re-enroll.

During an interview on the television program On “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” which airs on the Newsmax network, Brooke Leslie Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, revealed that she had received data on SNAP beneficiaries from 29 Republican states, stating that “186,000 deceased men, women, and children are still receiving SNAP checks,” which is illegal. Therefore, the Texas lawyer believes it is necessary to update the program's data in order to verify that SNAP benefits those who truly need it. “Can you imagine what we're going to find when we get our hands on the data from the Democratic states? It will give us a platform and a roadmap to fundamentally rebuild this program, to get everyone to re-enroll, to make sure that everyone who receives a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps is literally receiving it.” “Vulnerable and cannot survive without it,” she said. According to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, more than 41 million people depend on these benefits to buy food. The controversial point is that 120 individuals were recently arrested for committing fraud with the SNAP program. “These are the things we are discovering that, for years, no one had bothered to investigate thoroughly because the federal government didn't have the necessary system to do so, but now we are. The president has made it a priority, so we are going to fix this problem,” the USDA official stated. It should be noted that a family can only access SNAP benefits for a specific and limited period, known as the certification period. This period can last between six and twelve months, depending on the individual case. Upon completion of the established period, the support should automatically end, but there are often cases where the certification is extended.
