- The USDA plans to withhold SNAP administrative funds from states that fail to provide requested beneficiary data starting next week.
- Twenty-two states, including Pennsylvania, have filed lawsuits opposing the data-sharing mandate, citing privacy and verification concerns.
- Officials argue that sharing information is essential to identify fraud, while benefits to recipients will remain unaffected.
- So far, 28 states plus Guam have complied, mostly those governed by Republicans.
We asked for all the states for the first time to turn over their data to the federal government to let the USDA partner with them to root out this fraud, to make sure that those who really need food stamps are getting them.— Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins discussing the need for data sharing to prevent fraud in the SNAP program.
