These households could have received an estimated $500,000 in food stamp overpayments during 1997. These potential overpayments represented a very small percentage of the $8.5 billion in benefits paid in the seven states that year. In view of the relatively small number of potential food stamp overpayments involving residents of long-term care facilities, GAO concludes that computer matching may not be practical for the seven states included in its review. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-99-151/html/GAOREPORTS-RCED-99-151.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-99-151/pdf/GAOREPORTS-RCED-99-151.pdf GAO/RCED-99-151 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-RCED-99-151 Letter Report GAO/RCED-99-151; Food Stamp Program: Relatively Few Improper Benefits; Food relief programs State-administered programs Overpayments Internal controls Computer matching Families Program abuses Extended care facilities Federal/state relations Eligibility determinations California Florida Kansas Illinois New York North Carolina Texas Food Stamp Program Medicaid Program
