在2024年,马萨诸塞州由于与大流行病有关的系统紧张,而不是欺诈(尽管联邦基金为2B美元),超额支付了3.38亿马萨诸塞州SNAP福利金。 Massachusetts overpaid $338 million in SNAP benefits in 2024 due to pandemic-related system strain, not fraud, despite $2B in federal funds.

马萨诸塞州州长Maura Healey说,2024年期间,由于与大流行病有关的干扰,包括系统挑战和需求增加,SNAP付款出现3.64亿美元的差额,导致3.38亿美元的超额支付,尽管联邦供资超过20亿美元。 Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey said a $364 million discrepancy in SNAP payments during 2024 was caused by pandemic-related disruptions, including system challenges and increased demand, leading to $338 million in overpayments despite receiving over $2 billion in federal funding. 拜登行政当局此前曾敦促该国改进监督。 The Biden administration’s USDA had previously urged the state to improve oversight. Healey拒绝关于普遍欺诈的指控,称其为与前总统特朗普有关的政治干扰,并强调错误是业务紧张造成的,而不是故意不当行为造成的。 Healey rejected claims of widespread fraud, calling them a political distraction linked to former President Trump, and emphasized the errors resulted from operational strain, not intentional misconduct.
