> 1% of the recipients are fraudulent
Google sez:
"The total amount of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) improper payments for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 was an estimated $10.5 billion, or 11.7% of total benefits paid."
Em. "Improper payments" includes mistaken payments, overpayments and underpayments.
It is a measure of payment (or non-payment) errors, not fraud.
That doesn't mean 11% of recipients are fraudulent.
