EBT Fraud

Front end manager here

When we get anybody that pays with EBT, I take a photo of there license plate. I then go upstairs to the computer where a full detailed receipt can be generated which is different than a duplicate receipt at the register. This way we have the full EBT number. Our local office for EBT is close so I go there with the evidence and after they do an investigation, bingo!! The EBT is cancelled and goes to their fraud dept for prosecution. The person reporting the fraud gets $500 reward.

If there is no prosecution, but enough information for canceling their EBT, then the informant gets $300.

The authorities cross check the registration with the EBT holder. It's not perfect but gives the feds leads. The also have the authority to pull IRS records and bank statements.

Now how does this help exactly? And what would you do if a passanger in that car jumped out at you taking a pic of the license plate? Seems pretty dangerous especially if things ger physical.

You must be discreet. You don't need a photo, just jot down the plate number. the investigators handle the rest. The feds usually come in  get a video and the parking lot if possible to get photos. They just want leads. I was told the investigators get convictions on about 80% of the cases

Read my post above. You also never have to go to court and it is anonymous. It falls under the Federal Whistleblower law. The perp can never find out who turned them in.

So you do this with all EBT purchases? You must be at a VERY small store, which has time to do "Extra" stuff. In reality I would watch how you do this, since technically this might place your SNAP Licence in jeopardy if you place a restriction on this payment (that is outside the regulated requirements). Doing the License thing is all fine it its something illegal, but if one of the legit people file a complaint, you will have to explain what, when, why your doing this. In reality, as long as the pin is excepted, in the stores mind, its an approved transaction.

I am confused as to how you can take a picture of the license plate. Is that from your store security video?

 You need to get a life. Bet you don't catch any real thieves while you're in their spying on lower income people. Can you tell when someone is using a stolen credit card? Bet you can't. People probably walk out with whole carts of groceries while on your watch. What do you care what their monthly earnings are? Oh I bet the only ebt transactions you care about come from people if a certain color. Have fun with your prejudice in this lifetime, you will be judged for it later. You are very money hungry, if you will do this, you'll take from the company too.

 You've been with Kroger 45 years and you're only a front end manager? Must not be a good one if you have time to do this crap.

I retired this year and my union pension is $2700 a month.  Not bad, since salaried people don't get anything except a 401k which we have also . I live in L.A. so we had a great contract. Sorry for the new people

You mean to tell me that you follow EVERY EBT paying customer out to their car to get their license plate? Hmm ok. What if the car isn't registered in their name? What if it's registered to a parent, spouse, etc? What if they're borrowing someone else's car? Also, what if they're using the EBT to pay for groceries for their elderly parents who are low income and depend on those benefits to eat? What you're doing sounds fishy. I've never heard of any store doing this. I want to believe that this a troll post.

While most stuff a FE Manager will catch is by instinct, I would never worry about EBT fraud. Yes, I'm sure it happened/happens, but who am I to say who is the rightful owner. If someone used an EBT card and literally handed someone $$ right after, I might be interested in reporting. I would be more interested in fraud I can control, employee, SCO, credit card purchases, gift card.
