"As of early 2025, there were approximately 42.8 million SNAP recipients. After recent legislative changes, the current enrollment decreased to around 37.8 million recipients in the United States. Using the given figure of around 200,000 dead individuals claiming food aid, that comes out to about 0.53 percent, roughly half of 1 percent of food aid being claimed by dead people. Does a 99.5 percent legitimate rate count as a success or a failure? You decide."
