The consequences of SNAP violations can be severe, and one of the most common violations is food stamp trafficking. This occurs when employees engage in exchanging SNAP benefits for cash, selling EBT card numbers and pins, providing cash change for SNAP benefits, or accepting SNAP for ineligible items such as cigarettes or alcohol. Store owners may not be aware of such activities, but they are still held responsible for them, with severe consequences that can impact their entire business.
The USDA has the authority to impose three types of civil penalties for SNAP violations: permanent disqualification, temporary disqualification, and civil fines. The type and extent of the penalty will depend on the nature of the violation and the number of prior violations, with a first intentional program violation resulting in a 12-24 month suspension from accepting SNAP benefits. Repeat violations can result in longer suspension periods or even permanent disqualification.
If you are facing allegations of violating SNAP laws, you have the right to a judicial review of the government’s decision to suspend your participation in the SNAP program in case of an alleged violation. You have 30 days from the completion of the administrative review to file a court action, failing which you may lose your right to pursue the case further. The review can be filed in the relevant U.S. District Court, and it is advisable to hire a SNAP violation lawyer to navigate this complex legal process.
During the trial period, the lawyer can help you negotiate settlements with the opposing government’s counsel and reach an agreement to dismiss the case and get your business back on track. The trial process can involve conducting depositions, finding witnesses, and more, making it important to have a competent lawyer by your side.
