Stolen Food Stamp Funds Leave Thousands Hungry as New York Sleeps on Reforms
New York's outdated EBT system lacks security measures, leaving food stamp benefits vulnerable to fraud. Victims like Dolly R., a Holocaust survivor, lose funds without reimbursement, as the state fails to implement reforms despite surging fraudulent activity. California and other states have adopted chip-based EBT cards and compensation programs, contrasting with New York's inaction.
