The Trump administration is working to eliminate financial incentives for foreigners to steal from the country and to pressure non-citizens who are now exploiting citizens’ support to get withdrawal or packed.
Following President Donald Trump’s February 19th Presidential Order “End the borders that open taxpayer subsidies,” the USDA is currently taking steps to prevent illegal foreigners from obtaining food stamps.
“President Trump has made it clear that American taxpayers will no longer subsidize illegal aliens,” USDA secretary Brooke Rollins I said in a statement on Thursday.
“We are the custodians of taxpayer dollars and it is our duty to ensure that the state verifies its identity and confirms the status of immigration for SNAP applicants,” continues Rollins. “The USDA nutrition program aims to support the most vulnerable Americans. It’s outrageous to forgive those who enter the US and break our laws to receive these interests illegally.”
Published by USDA guidance On Thursday, it stated minimal expectations nationwide for eligibility verification to prevent “inqualified aliens” from participating in the program.
Only American citizens and certain legally presented non-citizens, including individuals who have been granted exile; eligible Because of the advantages of snaps. However, the US Government’s Accountability Office It’s attracting attention The September 2024 report stated that the estimated 11.7% or $10.5 billion SNAP benefits paid by the USDA in 2023 were “the wrong amount or should have been.”
The report stated that “the state primarily showed that the recipient “made an inappropriate payment related to the snap because they “did not confirm the eligibility of the program’s benefits.” States often fail to verify whether recipients are citizens or legally non-citizens.
In a December 2023 report, the Center for Immigration Research revealed that 48% of “illegal headed households” use food welfare programs.
“Taxpayer-funded benefits must only be for eligible taxpayers.”
As of 2022, American taxpayers were in Hook for at least $182 billion a year to provide services and benefits to illegal aliens and their dependents. According to To the American Federation of Immigration Reforms.
The new USDA guidance requires state agencies to:
- Ideally, the applicant’s identity will be verified before verifying the status of the immigrant.
- Collect and verify the Social Security numbers of all household members applying for SNAP benefits.
- Compare the SSN with the Social Security Agency’s Death Master File database to ensure that the SSN belongs to the applicant. and
- For qualifications, check your alien applications against the Department of Homeland Security’s systematic alien verification system. Last week, Executive Director KristiNoem made its state free of charge to the governor.
This guidance provided other recommendations and advised state agencies that Food and Nutrition Services “assess the effectiveness of identity and immigration status verification practices in the usual management assessment for program compliance.”
The USDA issued new guidance just a week after Trump issued his administration, preventing illegal foreigners from receiving taxpayer funds from the Social Security Act program, including elderly care, unemployment insurance, disability insurance, Medicare, Medicaid and temporary support for poor families.
Blaze News previously reported that the memo had instructed the Social Security Agency to expand its fraudulent prosecutors program, investigated that it had received reports from individuals over the age of 100, consider reviving the citizens’ financial penalty program, and to enhance program integrity measures so that only eligible foreigners can receive benefits.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt I said The reporter said on April 15th, “The benefits funded by these taxpayers should be for eligible taxpayers only.”
