40+ states are using a loophole called BBCE to bypass federal food stamp eligibility requirements!
Shockingly, even millionaires and lottery winners can be put on the rolls. This is fraud by design.
Congress must CLOSE the BBCE loophole for good.

Radical left-wing groups are pushing Amendment 6. Missouri voters should push back.
Vote NO on 6. #VoteNoOn6
Missouri, watch this before Nov. 3. Amendment 6 is a bad deal for voters. Vote NO. #VoteNoOn6
Amendment 6 takes power from the people Missourians elect and gives it to unelected judges and activists.
Vote NO on Amendment 6 on Nov. 3. #VoteNoOn6

Food stamp spending has gone from $17 billion in 2000 to more than $100 billion in 2025, and enrollment more than doubled to 42 million. More than $10 billion of that was improper last year. Our research by @PolicyWithPaige on EBT security. 🔗 thefga.org/research/to-tackl…

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that since it’s “illegal” to give illegal aliens welfare, that it’s not happening.
There’s a reason so many blue states are refusing to share their welfare data with the federal government. ⤵️ thefga.org/blog/yes-illegal-…
More than 1 in 5 Medicaid dollars is spent improperly, costing taxpayers $1.1T over the last decade!
A major culprit? Two Obama-era loopholes that let states enroll people in Medicaid without ever verifying whether they even qualify.
@TheFGA’s Jonathan Bain traces the fraud. 🧵
Louisiana learned this the hard way.
When the state accepted the exchange's determinations without its own checks, auditors found nearly 20,000 ineligible enrollees, costing taxpayers up to $85.5 million.
Congress and @CMSGov can close both loopholes for good.

More than $10 billion in food stamp payments was improper last year — and weak EBT card security is a big reason why.
These cards can be skimmed, cloned, and stolen with almost no way to catch it.
🧵 + LINK.
States have the tools to close these gaps and protect food stamp dollars for the truly needy.
Limit replacement cards, require photos on EBT cards, let recipients lock their cards, and restrict out-of-state and online transactions by default.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed 88 bills in a single day this year.
Nearly every welfare reform Representative @MichaelCarbone fought for was among them.
He held the line anyway. Because of his courage, Arizona has one of the most fiscally responsible budgets in the nation.
"Tonight, for his leadership, his friendship, and his extraordinary determination to get the job done, we are proud to honor Representative Carbone with the Legislator of the Year Award," said Gregg Pfister, FGA's Senior Director of State Affairs.
Congrats, Representative Carbone! 🇺🇸

Every time states move to close food stamp loopholes, the same propaganda goes out: children will go hungry.
That claim isn't just wrong—it's designed to protect fraud, not kids.
So who's really being served? 🧵 👇
Reform also asks able-bodied adults without dependents to work, train, or volunteer.
Nearly 74 percent of these adults on food stamps aren't working at all.
Work requirements aren't a punishment—they connect people to paychecks and a path forward.
Program integrity protects this program for the families it was built to serve.
