 Due Process Concerns in Food Stamp Fraud Investigations

This training will equip participants to represent clients more effectively in intentional program violation (fraud) cases in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps). The training will address each of the two, quite different, types of alleged SNAP IPVs: eligibility fraud and benefits trafficking. Participants will develop their skills in recognizing what kinds of facts lead to cases being treated as SNAP IPVs, which in turn will help them understand what sort of defenses are likely to be most important. The training also will focus on the difficult ethical issues that SNAP IPV cases often raise for attorneys involved on one side or the other.

    David Super (Speaker)

    David A. Super is a Professor at Georgetown University Law Center. He has trained advocates in more than forty states on effective representation of low-income people seeking food assistance. Over the past few years, as USDA has increased pressure on states to pursue intentional program violations (IPVs) in the Supplemental Food Assistance Program (SNAP), he has conducted over a dozen trainings specifically focused on IPVs and has testified as an expert witness in individual SNAP IPV cases. His writing on SNAP IPVs has appeared in Clearinghouse Review, The Champion, and elsewhere. Prior to joining the faculty at Georgetown, he served for eleven years as the general counsel for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, specializing in food stamps, immigration, and other public benefit programs for low-income people. Before his time at the Center, he was legal director for the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) and was a staff attorney at the National Health Law Program (NHeLP) and at Community Legal Services in Philadelphia, where he worked on food stamp, Medicaid, welfare, and disability cases.
