Those who spent the money that didn't belong to them should pay it imho.:manny: Its theft, plain and simple... and yet another bad look for assistance receivers.
1000% should be taking out of future food stamps to whoever stole more than $20.. Throwing a couple extra tombstone pizzas in the cart knowing you going to be over Is one thing. Buying 100's worth of food knowing you dont have it on the card is another.

If that be the case then Walmart should also bare some of the responsibility. They knowing traded in stolen funds.

Is that why it will go unfunded next month?

:ehh: If the state could prove that wal-mart knew the funds were in fact "stolen"(which they were) and accepted them anyway. Sure.

When a store in Springhill, La., announced over the loudspeaker that the glitch was fixed, shoppers simply abandoned loaded carts, according to Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd.

Lynd said Walmart’s corporate headquarters told the store to continue selling to EBT card holders despite the glitch. A spokesman for Walmart later told KSLA that the company continued selling to shoppers “so that they could get food for their families.”

Walmart will be on the hook for the glitch-prompted shopping spree that nearly wiped out stores in Louisiana after the Electronic Benefit Transfer system temporarily removed spending limits on food stamp recipients’ cards.

The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services, which oversees the state’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, said Walmart will have to foot the bill for store losses in Springhill and Mansfield, La., during a food shopping frenzy.


No card is limitless, DCFS spokesman Trey Willims told KSLA-TV. Usually when outages occur, he said, it’s the store’s responsibility to take action, include calling a number to verify customers’ card limits.

But some retailers chose not to do that Saturday night.

These businesses are only reimbursed for the benefits on the card, and they are completely responsible. So if someone had $50 dollars on their card, and they spent $100, the retailer, in this case Walmart, would be on the hook for the other $50,” he said.

as I said.
