Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has urged Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to recertify Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients to ensure they meet eligibility requirements in response to fraud allegations.

In a letter dated Dec. 16, Rollins stated that Minnesota is mandated to participate in a SNAP pilot project aimed at enhancing program efficiency in light of alleged “ongoing fraud affecting federally funded benefits” within the state, without elaborating.
