DEAD MEN EATING: Massive Fraud in SNAP Program, Corpses Cash In, Half A Million Double Dippers

SNAP is hemorrhaging cash to corpses and cheats, with 29 states uncovering a trail of dead recipients, double payments, and able-bodied freeloaders milking the system.

The nation’s food-stamp program is rotten to the core: thousands of dead “beneficiaries,” 500,000 double-paid scammers, and blue states stonewalling the data.

Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins revealed that the SNAP program currently pays benefits to dead people, who presumably no longer require food aid. She also revealed that more than half a million people are registered for SNAP twice, giving them a nice bonus, and that they, as well, will no longer get double benefits.

Post Millennial:  US Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has revealed that her department has found that dead people have been receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as well as people receiving the benefits twice. Speaking with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Rollins said that of the 29 states that complied and shared their SNAP data with the administration, her department has found that a “staggering” 5,000 dead people have been receiving the benefits, and 500,000 people were “getting benefits two times under the same name.” Additionally, she said that 80 percent of those on SNAP in those states were able-bodied Americans, “meaning they can work. They don’t have small children at home, they’re not taking care of an elderly parent. They can work, and they choose not to work, of course, because they’re getting significant benefits from the taxpayer.”

Since only 29 states have complied with requests to share SNAP data, one has to wonder how many people in the 21 blue states, including New York, Illinois, and California, are committing fraud. Chances are that the number is much higher, unless you believe that Democrat-run states are especially diligent in stopping welfare fraud.

Brooke Rollins: 186K Dead People Receiving SNAP Benefits

By Sam Barron, Newsmax, 13 November 2025:

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are rife with fraud and abuse, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told Newsmax on Thursday.

Appearing on “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Rollins discussed SNAP data the U.S. Department of Agriculture received from 29 states — mostly red states.

The secretary said that “186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check.”

“Now, that is what we’re really going to start clamping down on,” she said.

Rollins said 500,000 people are receiving two SNAP payments.

“Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data what we’re going to find?” she asked.

“It’s going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable, and they can’t survive without it.”

Rollins said her department found a person who is using the same Social Security number received six different EBT cards in six different states.

“These are the things that we’re uncovering that, for years, no one has really ever dug into because the feds didn’t have the system in place to do it. But we do now.
