This bill requires Michigan's human services department to share specific data about individuals receiving SNAP benefits with federal agencies and a state task force focused on eliminating fraud. The shared information includes benefit allotment amounts and personal identity details to help prevent duplicate accounts and fraud involving deceased individuals. Additionally, the bill mandates that the department submit quarterly reports to the legislature detailing the number of flagged duplicate accounts, improper payments recovered, and blocked out-of-state transactions. These measures aim to improve the accuracy of benefit distribution and ensure that taxpayer funds are not misused.
