flag Kentucky disqualifies SNAP recipients using questionable spending patterns, sparking due process concerns.

flag Kentucky has disqualified hundreds of residents from SNAP benefits since 2020 using transactional data like same-day purchases or whole-dollar spending, without clear proof of fraud. flag Despite court rulings criticizing the practice and concerns over fairness, the state continues to rely on these patterns, ranking second in the U.S. for per-capita disqualifications. flag Many recipients, including low-income families, face penalties like one-year bans and repayment demands—sometimes for as little as 14 cents—often after waiving their right to a hearing due to confusing mail notices. flag Legal experts say the state fails to meet its burden of proof, raising alarms about due process and the impact on food-insecure households.
