SNAP Benefits Stolen to Buy Formula | Tampa News

Dozens of Florida families are victims of rampant SNAP benefit theft, with stolen funds funneled to a black market baby formula trade in Glendale, California. Despite changing cards and PINs, victims keep falling prey—some even posted the suspect’s address online, confirmed by DoorDash drivers. Nationwide, similar schemes have led to arrests and seizures, including a 2023 Oregon bust and a California woman found with 100+ cases of stolen formula. DoorDash is investigating, agencies are collaborating, but Florida’s DCF directs victims to law enforcement and security upgrades—no direct reimbursement. With the federal reimbursement program shut down, families feel abandoned as they struggle to cover bills and food, questioning why state officials aren’t doing more to stop this epidemic.
