The program is poised for a historic expansion with the addition of $20 billion in federal stimulus money. About $400 million, or 2 percent, of that will be lost to fraud, according to government estimates.
Even in Pennsylvania, which federal agencies say has the lowest percentage of fraud among states with more than a million people receiving food stamps, investigators found $1.6 million in alleged fraud last year, out of almost $1.4 billion spent — a fraud rate of about 0.1 percent. Pennsylvania has one of the country's toughest application processes for food stamps.
