Episode Details

SNAP benefits in Danville are hitting a major milestone: zero reported thefts since August 1—down from 125 in July. That’s a dramatic drop compared to just 19 reports for the first six months of the year, even as over 6,000 residents depend on these funds. While fraud has been a rollercoaster since 2024, officials stress that sudden benefit loss devastates families regardless of stats. Virginia’s new chip-enabled EBT cards launching in September aim to stop future thefts, and they’re urging users to lock their cards via the ConnectEBT app until checkout.
