The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services is warning Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits recipients of potential fraud.
ODJFS Director Matt Damschroder is reminding Ohioans receiving SNAP benefits to be extra cautious. Criminals are targeting states for SNAP benefit theft, according to U.S. Food and Nutrition Service officials.
“ODJFS takes fraud very seriously, and we are committed to identifying and eliminating fraud in the SNAP program,” Damschroder said. “From increased fraud monitoring efforts to helping SNAP cardholders lock their cards, we’re aggressively working to reduce fraud.”
