## Resource

USDA’s anti-fraud crackdown on SNAP has uncovered nearly $10 billion in fraud and led to 1,000 arrests, with Secretary Brooke Rollins crediting bipartisan cooperation — except from most Democratic governors — and touting eligibility reforms aimed at helping those working toward better jobs. But the changes have sparked legal backlash: over 20 Democratic-led states sued, citing work requirements that stripped at least 3.5 million people of benefits. Vice President JD Vance is spearheading a task force to root out fraud in the federally funded, state-managed program.
