Food stamp mispayments are way up this year. It has nothing to do with fraud.
“Mispayments in the food-stamp program are most commonly the result of caseworker error, and not fraud or deception by recipients, according to USDA. Overpayments are by far the most common type of error. But their number remains small compared to other large government programs, such as the earned income tax credit (nearly 24 percent) or Medicaid (10.10 percent).”
