re: How to stop SNAP waste fraud and abuse

This will not completely solve the problem. Around here, cash buyers will meet with card holders at the store. They walk around and shop for groceries, the card holder pays at the register and the cash is exchanged outside. $300 worth of groceries for $150 and the buyer just rolls the buggy to their car and loads up.

How often it happens I don't know but I know for a fact that it does.

It happens a lot. They have networks set up for it. That is why I chuckle every time people think making it nontransferable will solve much. It isn't a complicated grift so all you need is one mildly intelligent bum to figure that out and every other bum knows it. You can't make hamburger meat or a gallon of milk nontransferable once someone walks out the store.
