• One food stamp enrollee in Kansas kept receiving benefits for 21 months after they'd likely already moved out of state. Nobody caught it until auditors went looking.⁠ ⁠ 👤 That's not a glitch. It's what happens when an EBT card has less security than a basic debit card—no photo, no lock feature, no real check on who's using it.⁠ ⁠ Food stamp spending exploded from $17 billion in 2000 to more than $100 billion today, and fraud grew right along with it.

• 👤 Someone stole a Social Security number today. Maybe it belonged to a grandmother who died a decade ago. Maybe it belonged to a child. And right now, nothing stops that stolen identity from being used to sign up for welfare benefits. Nearly 24 million Americans have their identity stolen every year, and states aren't required to check whether the person applying for benefits is actually who they claim to be. That's how you end up with welfare checks going out to people who died during the Rea
