KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON

Taking the Bite Out of Crime

Just when you think you've heard every last method of scamrning Uncle Sam, along comes news of another way that leaves you breathless. Item: Last week the General Accounting Office reported that thousands

of convicted criminals nationwide have continued to participate in the federal food stamp program despite being confined to jailor prison.

In its study of foUl' food stamp programs across the country, the GAO determined that 12,138 inmates or their families fraudulently received $3.5 miDion in food stamps during fiscal year 1995; that year, $1.5 million in food stamps were erroneously granted to 5,690 inmates in Texas prisons. Talk about double-dipping. Prisoners who already receive free room and board are, in effect, dining twice at public expense.

This is an especially pernicious practice, given that it has been so hard to enact entitlement refonn to ensure that people who truly need help can receive it. The food stamp program provides a badly needed safety net for millions of desperate people. •

We must not allow fraud to undermine the entire program. As outrageous as prisoners receiving food stamps may be, I am proud to

report that Texas has taken the lead in ferreting out and eliminating this abuse. Since January, our state has been cross-checking the names of individuals receiving food stamps with the names of convicts in Texas prisons.

In addition, Texas authorities now require food stamp recipient families to verify the number of people in thdr bouseholds every three months rather than every sill. months, as was the case the in past.

Earlier Ibis month, I introduced legislation to encourage all states to follow Texas' lead and initiate procedures to end this fraudulent practice across-the-board.

Currently we reward states that take steps to recoup food stamp overpay­ments that occur as a result of fraud or error - such as payments to prisoners. My bill would reduce this reward system for states that do not cross-check food stamp rolls with prison records, the way Texas is doing.

I am happy that Texas took the initiative on this matter, pointing the way for other states to do the same, without waiting for the federal government to act. Cross-checkiog prison records with food stamp eligibility lists is an inexpensive, non-intrusive method of determining whether f~lies receiv­ing food stamps are accurately statillg the size of their households; AmePcan tail.payers, who are footiog the bill, deserve DO less.
