Michigan Receives $750K Grant to Reduce Snap Fraud

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Office of The Inspector General will receive $749,987 to reduce food stamp fraud. The grant funds innovative concepts and best practices over the next three years to detect, investigate and prevent the misuse of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program program Benefits, which security experts say is a “national problem.” The award will support program integrity efforts including computer forensic examiner software and hardware to assist in cybercrimes associated with SNAP.
