The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is cracking down on food stamp fraud, targeting what officials say is a loophole that allows wealthy individuals to qualify for government benefits. The Department of Food and Human Services Secretary, Brooke Rollins, revealed that a single state has 14,000 individuals on SNAP benefits who also drive luxury vehicles. She warned fraudsters that the USDA is working to close a loophole under the Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility policy used to qualify. The SNAP program, the largest federal anti-hunger program in the US, has been a target of conservatives pushing for reforms.

The department's plan involves moving food nutrition resources and staff from Washington, D.C. to other cities like Indianapolis, Dallas, Denver and Kansas City.
