While most of the benefits on EBT cards come from federal funds, California taxpayers foot the bill to reimburse victims of theft. California has reimbursed CalWorks recipients for stolen funds for years, and in November 2021 the state became the first to do the same for CalFresh food aid recipients, after advocates sued the state.

In December, Congress approved a spending bill allowing states to use federal funds to reimburse victims of food stamp theft that happened after Oct. 1, 2022.

First California taxpayers had to pay for the state's incompentance but now all of America's taxpayers get to chip in.

I would bet the rent money that this dough finds its way into Democrat’s campaign coffers....................

Digital money so easy to steal you don’t even have to leave home

[DannyTN]

doesn’t the stolen money have to go to a registered EBT goods provider? Seems like it would be easy to trace.

I don’t understand CalFresh. Tried once and had too much income but I know people who own homes and get food stamps.

An easy solution: END this EBT foolishness!

I am reminded of a football drill I had to participate in back in the day: “Root hog or die!”

That is what life is all about - not “FREE STUFF” paid for by the poor suffering American taxpayer!

I suspect an “inside” job. These illegal aliens go to California, are given a driver’s license, registered to vote, and are immediately put on all the benefit programs. I also suspect they are also given state jobs where they can funnel money to all their buddies, including democrat politicians.
