The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged six individuals, including one federal employee, in an alleged multi-million dollar food stamp fraud case.
The defendants allegedly defrauded the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps, according to a press release Thursday from the DOJ. The scam, involving a USDA employee, reportedly amassed over $66 million in transactions through the use of unauthorized Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) terminals at retail locations and with the assistance of fraudulent codes provided by the employee to redeem SNAP uses at stores, the agency stated.
