Oklahoma State Auditor sounding alarm on serious threat to Oklahoma's SNAP program

Oklahoma is grappling with a significant financial burden as it leads the nation in SNAP fraud, according to the USDA. State Auditor and Inspector Cindy Byrd revealed that by October, Oklahoma could be required to pay $270 million annually if the current situation persists. The federal SNAP program, initiated in 1964 to prevent hunger, is now at the center of a financial crisis for Oklahoma taxpayers due to fraud issues. "The Trump administration is demanding accountability for government spending, and Oklahoma is on track to fail that test," Byrd said. Gov. Kevin Stitt has expressed concerns about the misuse of SNAP funds, stating, "If you really have food insecurity, let's make sure we're using those funds for nutritional items, and not wasting that on cookies, and candy, and cokes."
