Rollins made a case for sweeping changes to #SNAP by asserting the #USDA uncovered "massive fraud" in state data the agency demanded, & referred to stats suggesting wrongdoing without providing data or details.

The #Trump admin's latest campaign for SNAP changes comes as millions are already poised to lose #benefits as #states implement new #WorkRequirements & #eligibility rules that #Republicans in #Congress passed over the summer that are the deepest #cuts in history to the program.

In a Fox interview, Rollins said the further changes she is proposing will "make sure those vulnerable Americans who really need that benefit are going to get it. And for all the rest of the fraudsters & the people who are corrupt & taking advantage of it—we're going to protect the taxpayer, too."

Food policy experts say they are concerned that Rollins' talking points suggest a distorted view of the prevalence of #SNAP recipients committing fraud, & conflates fraud w/payment errors of any kind.
