Four Roommates Sharing One EBT Card

Four young roommates in my apartment building share a two-bedroom unit. Only one qualified for SNAP. But ever since then, their fridge is always full—steaks, premium frozen meals, snacks. Turns out they rotate the card. Before shopping they literally hold a “planning meeting”: “You get meat; I’ll get fruit; we’ll fix the receipts later.” A single immigrant mom in the building was furious: “We budget every dollar for food, and they treat benefits like a game.” #SNAPFraud #BenefitAbuse
