MDHS announces SNAP fraud replacement
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) is taking action to recoup funds that may have been fraudulently acquired through the use of EBT/SNAP benefits. Mississippi has one of the highest populations utilizing these benefits in the country, with hundreds of thousands of households depending on them to feed their families. However, many have fallen victim to fraud. A new federal law that took effect in December 2022 allows the MDHS to retroactively reimburse those benefits that may have been skimmed or stolen. This action aims to rectify the situation and protect vulnerable families.
Mississippi’s population is one of the highest in the country among people using EBT/SNAP benefits.
