I was not aware of the magnitude of this problem. Unfortunately, many of the "Christian" people in state legislatures and Congress do not have much empathy for people who need public assistance. They're stuck in the "welfare queen" world of Reagan, and note that the blame was placed on women in the system, especially black women. I agree with your solutions and the fact that administrative burdens should be kept as low as possible. Is there a phone app that people who receive SNAP benefits can use to check their balances, report fraud, and do other necessary things?

A private company called Propel has an app called Providers which makes it easier for SNAP users to track https://www.joinproviders.com/blog/providers-privacy-and-security-protocols/
Thank you for that information and I'm glad there's one available.
