Act Now: Consult a SNAP Violation Attorney
Received a SNAP violation notice at your EBT-accepting grocery? It likely signals a rule breach. Attached, you’ll find transaction evidence. React within ten days by contacting our legal experts. Ignoring this can lead to EBT privilege suspension.bSNAP gives monthly food benefits via EBT. These are for certain goods, not for cash services. The program, federal but state-issued, is overseen by the USDA FNS according to US law.
Identifying SNAP & EBT Violations
Violations include:
- Trading SNAP for non-food items like tobacco or alcohol.
- Fraudulent benefit acceptance or trading.
- Misrepresenting information on benefit acceptance applications.
- Accepting SNAP from unauthorized users.
- Claiming more EBT for food than actual sales.
Fighting a SNAP Violation Notice
Our firm boasts extensive experience in SNAP defense. We manage your case entirely, from initial notice to final appeal.
Upon receiving a violation notice — your first hint of USDA’s action against your EBT rights — you’ll see detailed violation instances. Our lawyers handle all USDA communication, gather evidence, and respond aptly.
Facing further USDA conviction means a second notice. We’ll appeal, crafting a compelling appellate brief to overturn your store’s violation status.
Should USDA remain unmoved, we proceed to Federal Court for a judicial review, representing your store at trial.
SNAP & EBT Violations
Grocery stores must comply with SNAP’s stringent rules. Misuse, like spending benefits on electronics or tobacco, risks your EBT acceptance. Often, violations occur unbeknownst to owners due to employee fraud. Consulting a SNAP violation attorney promptly can prevent benefit revocation.
Respond to violation notices within ten days to protect your store. Failing to act might mean losing EBT acceptance for up to five years. Secure expert representation immediately upon notice receipt to safeguard your store’s future.
EBT Card Usage
While EBT cards function similarly to regular debit cards, they have distinct limitations:
- EBT card SNAP benefits are restricted to specific purchases and cannot be used for all types of spending.
- SNAP benefits cannot be withdrawn as cash.
Families of four using EBT may qualify for as much as $632 monthly in benefits, while individuals might get around $189 each month. These benefit amounts vary based on household income, the size of the household, and particular situations.
