200,000 DEAD PEOPLE, USDA Uncovers 700,000 Food Stamp Fraudsters – BLUE STATES SUING TO KEEP THE SCAM ALIVE

USDA Sec. Brooke Rollins: “We found 200,000 dead people getting food stamps, and 500,000 getting more than one benefit… in the red states. Blue states are suing us… The fraud is so stunning.”

• Rollins says investigators found 200,000 people using dead Americans’ Social Security numbers and nearly 500,000 collecting benefits in multiple states, while some states refuse to share data.
• “The fraud is so stunning,” says Rollins, warning that millions more fraudulent beneficiaries may be hidden in states resisting federal scrutiny.
• The USDA says its crackdown has already uncovered nearly 700,000 fraudulent SNAP cases, raising questions about how much taxpayer money has been lost nationwide.
• According to Rollins, states that cooperated with federal investigators revealed widespread abuse of the food stamp system—and the numbers keep growing.

Nearly 700K SNAP fraudsters found in cooperating states: USDA Secretary

By Natalia Mittelstadt, FOX 11, June 10, 2026:

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said that nearly 700,000 SNAP fraudsters have been found in cooperating states, calling it the “tip of the iceberg.”

“Under @POTUS and @VP’s leadership, we’re winning the fight against SNAP fraud,” Rollins posted on X Sunday.

“Right after I took office, we asked every state to share their data so we could go after the fraud we knew was plaguing the program. Red states, and even a few blue, stepped up. What we uncovered was staggering:

“Most blue states are actively shielding what we project are MILLIONS of criminal fraudsters in their states, and billions of dollars of waste and abuse. Why would they do this? We need to protect these programs for the Americans they were designed to help.”

Rollins also included a video clip in her post of an interview she did on Fox News’ “The Big Weekend Show,” in which she said, “The fraud is so rampant and so stunning that when the president, the vice president, and our team talks about, you know, when we can root all this fraud out, we’re gonna really be able to cut the deficit, make sure we’re protecting the taxpayer, but also make sure we’re protecting the families that rely on these programs at the same time by getting the fraud out.”

The secretary’s announcement of the nearly 700,000 fraudsters is an increase from the number that Vice President JD Vance said last month, which was 186,000 dead people who received SNAP benefits and 355,000 people who received double benefits.
