Unlawful Possession of Food Stamps is a crime that involves the illegal possession, sale, transfer, or purchase of food stamps, which are distributed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The two main types of Unlawful Possession of Food Stamps are Trafficking and Fraud. Trafficking involves exchanging food stamps for cash or other goods and services without the authorization of the USDA, while Fraud involves any attempt to obtain food stamps through deception or misrepresentation. Both types of Unlawful Possession of Food Stamps are punishable by fines, imprisonment, and/or the loss of benefits.
