Who validates "CalFresh" applications

[Tankhatch]

I ask, because it seems ripe for fraud and a people attractant, if nobody checks.

Example: 4 persons (A, B, C, D) living in a tent, on public land
All of them, seeking "CalFresh" benefits

Person A, claims household size total of 4 (B, C, D) & gets EBT card for $646 per month
Person B, claims household size total of 4 (A, C, D) & gets EBT card for $646 per month
Person C, claims household size total of 4 (A, B, D) & gets EBT card for $646 per month.
Person D, claims household size total of 4 (A, B, C) & gets EBT card for $646 per month.
The combined total of all 4 persons (A, B, C, D) living in that tent is $2584 per month with fraud.
The combined total of all 4 persons (A, B, C, D) living in that tent is $776 per month without fraud.

So who checks, for fraud, when there is no ID required* ?

*Per this website www.publiccounsel.org/pages/?id=0090

""If you do not have an ID, you can prove your identity using a "collateral contact." This is a person who knows you, such as a relative, neighbor, employer, or landlord.""

Think about how many people just sell their benefits outright. It’s a lot. I always worked in a rural area but it seemed like A: drug addicts were open about it and never tried to hide it and
B: when I called the welfare cops they were like “but how do you know he’s selling his benefits? Oh, he told you? But did he tell you who has his card? Oh he did? But did you interview that person? So you didn’t? Then there’s nothing we can do.”

In 1975, 6 Illegal Aliens playing poker at lunch. Using "FOOD STAMPS" as tender.

Location...........A Union Cabinet Shop in La Mirada. They were all making Journeyman wages. And shacked up with local Chicas.

I called INS and reported them. 2 days later. They and 20 of their compadres took a ride in a Green Bus. Within a week, they were all back with new names and SS #s

NOW if you called ICE, and reported the same thing. Under Ca Sanctuary SB-54. I doubt they would even ask where?
