Model in Reducing Waste, Abuse & Fraud

In the last five years, the number of Texans receiving assistance from SNAP rose by 54 percent, from 2.4 million to 3.7 million individuals. In the same period, national participation grew by 69 percent, from 26.5 million to 44.7 million individuals.

Despite such dramatic growth, the USDA successfully prevented a related rise in program waste, abuse or fraud. Today, SNAP enjoys the highest levels of efficiency, impact and integrity in program history.
