Intentional program violation food stamps refers to the deliberate misuse of government assistance programs intended to provide food assistance to low-income individuals and families. This can include actions such as fraudulently obtaining benefits, selling or trading benefits for cash or other goods, or failing to report changes in income or household composition that affect eligibility.
Intentional program violations can have serious consequences, including criminal prosecution, fines, and disqualification from future benefits. They also undermine the integrity of the food stamp program and divert resources away from those who truly need them.
