Discover Intel on Total Fraud Losses Impacting Supplemental Nutritional Assistance (SNAP) Agencies and Integrated Eligibility Systems (IES)

Key infographic series focused on supplemental nutritional assistance program (SNAP) agencies and integrated eligibility systems (IES) that uncovers total fraud losses, fraud loss distribution, top challenges, and best practice fraud mitigation adoption. 

The LexisNexis® Risk Solutions True Cost of Fraud™ study for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) agencies and Integrated Eligibility Systems (IES) serves as a model framework by informing the level and impact of fraud on SNAP agencies, including the challenges, volume, and cost, as well as the resources, that agencies utilize to detect and prevent fraud.

This infographic series examines all of these study key findings:

  • Total fraud losses
  • Fraud loss distribution
  • Top challenges with sources
  • Best practices and fraud mitigation methods
Our first infographic focuses on total fraud losses.  It details how SNAP agencies with eligibility oversight for multiple Human Services Benefit programs through IES have a higher cost of fraud. Mobile applications contribute to this.  

For every $1 value of lost benefits through fraud, it actually costs SNAP agencies $3.85 based on additional costs related to labor and administrative activities. This is up from $3.72 in 2022. For SNAP agencies that have more multi-program responsibility and an above average level of mobile-based applications, every $1 value of SNAP benefits lost through fraud is actually $4.05.

Our second infographic focuses on the distribution of SNAP fraud losses.
Loss distribution is represented by suspicious cases not worked, inadvertent household errors (IHEs) that have not been formally designated as an intention program violation but could be reasonably be assumed as fraud and EBT skimming/account take over.
