We can achieve what we need to do by program integrity to make the program stronger and better and better serve people, and also making sure the states take some accountability with the program. So there are no cuts to benefits.
SNAP reforms would “restore integrity” to the program and ensure it works for the “most vulnerable among us, including children.”
I hope it will resonate that such a cut will negatively impact the agency's ability to police its derivative markets.
