It's a special kind of evil to steal from people who have financial problems
Its called diversity
@@silentmajority8365 What the fuck does that even mean?
@@Xbob42it means cultural patriotism
Stealing from tax payers who fund the system...
Actually stealing from the tax payers
I work at the county office. Every time a client reports EBT theft, we will replace the benefits. We are losing lots of taxpayer money here. I don't know why it takes the state so long to do something.
My dad has 6 months saved. They will only refund 1 month
For thise asking why 7 kids: the answer is more social benefits. For instance, in San Diego County, households of 3 people receive $766, whille households of 7 receive $1,532 monthly Calfresh and cash benefits according to the county's website. Now tally up local, state and federal social benefits and you realize it's a consierable increase. That being said, a household of 9 living off a single income and taxpayer money will always be poor.
Legit. I feel sorry for the children. 😢
The USA need to totally get rid of magistripe cards. We are behind other countries on that.
I was going to have sympathy for her but no.... Seven kids?! Even high wage earners could barely afford 1 or 2 kids in this area. Why are we, as tax payers, funding this?
They use those children on social media for family vlogging to get lucrative brand partnerships to advertise products. They figured out how not to report all the actual income to the government.
Because she follow christian values and multiply and expect handouts
I only use my ATM card at the actual bank AND I still check for skimmers. For regular purchases I either use credit card or cash where credit cards aren’t accepted. I NEVER use the private ATMs that you see in convenience stores or in the mall. I don’t know too much about EBT cards, but I’m assuming they work just like debit cards.
Seven Kids! Here’s a idea, Stop making babies if you can’t afford them. We Tax Payers are just suckers. Keep working everyone, many are relying on you for your tax dollars.
Yes No 🙅🏽🙅🏽♂️🙅🏽♀️kids
I had my card skimmed as well. They will only refund one month of benefits even if you lose 6 months of benefits
Seven kids????? seriously
Seven kids? Wow

someone had 19
republican and religious, relies on foodstamps
7 kids?? You planning on buying a farm??? Why would you continue to have babies that you can't afford?????
Why 7 kids when you have rely on benefits
They probably make more money on social media. They do not look like they are really struggling just busy. Those big families become family vloggers on social media platforms and get brand partnerships to advertise products; except they don’t report all the actual income to the government.
This is the real story, why is she having kids that tax payers support?
More kids, more social benefits
Foster families and some families who are willing to adopt several children at once are subsidized by food stamps etc.
Some People also wind up in different economic circumstances as well.
In any case , it's not in anyone's best interest to abandon our next generation. I was raised on welfare after my hard working mom got cancer. I'm a successful engineer who who started a business that probably paid more in taxes than all the foodstamps my entire family received, in my first year of business alone. This is not including what my employees paid. We Need children, we need well fed, well educated ones.
And if we don't do this, then they will certainly become a burden in our prisons. That is why I'm ok with paying the less than %2 of my federal taxes that go to foodstamps, that go mostly to feed children. That is why I support public education, WIC, daycare etc. Because the PRICE of not doing it, is much higher in the long run.
SEVEN KIDS???? That's the real story
So what if she has 7 kids????

They need to investigate all the 7-eleven stores. My mom has had her card info stolen twice right after using it at their stores. She found large amount of fraud charges in less than 24 hours on both of those occasions. I notice this news showed their photo that looks a social media image. Probably mom makes money as a family vlogger social media influencers and does not report all the earnings to get EBT.
Having problems here in NY also.
Called diversity
😮😮😮 EBT is for food at grocery stores where skimmers are rarely found. Mini marts are not grocery stores.
Neither are fast food franchises. They also accept EBT Cards according to the sticker on the window.
1. Shitty EBT security is the problem, not where people are shopping.
2. Skimmers are NOT rare at grocery stores.
3. In many neighborhoods there are NO regular grocery stores.
Not all calfresh-ebt cards have a cash benefit.
Yea... How about not having more children than what you can afford...
Probably because they make money showcasing them on their social media family accounts and get brand product advertising partnership. Except they do not report the actual earnings from all that. They must know how to conceal it from reporting it as income wages to the government.
Every kid they get more from the government. Thats why
They may be foster or adoptive parents that get food stamps etc to help cover the cost.
3:44 not doing enough?? they are giving you free money who we pay for with our taxes!
meanwhile, ever think of using protection?? clearly, you can't afford even 6 kids and yet there is another one on the way!
i doubt it if they wentt his far the record ids 19 well when born its a life and a sibling
It's worse than a hotel key. You don't stick hotel key into every door.
It would also be nice to have my EBT card on my phone so I don’t have to bring the physical card when I go grocery shopping.
How do you lock your card? Also, does that prevent monthly card refill?
@@Jesse-gr2xo The smart phone is locked with a passcode. Having it in the smart phones' digital wallet does not prevent monthly refill.
thank you!
Why do you have EBT? You are an adult man. Work more.
I keep all my cards locked when not in use. Purchase what I need to unlock it. And lock it right back afterwards
How do you lock your card?
@@Jesse-gr2xo there are several YT videos how to.
They needs to close all those 711
All of these years they have been draining my bank account to pay for EBT.
How many kids are you planning to have?
7
Ikr! Insane and on food stamps

Oh no! Rice spilled on the Emperor Norton Bridge!?!?!
Joshua Norton disappeared after he’d convinced SFs leading investors to corner the rice market in post gold rush SF. They succeeded but only to have three ships full of rice sail into town.
When Norton reappeared, it was with a self made proclamation making him Empetor of the United States.
Rice in the Emperor Norton Bridge! Francis Scott Key should be so lucky!
Get RFID blocking cardholders, all someone needs to do is tap a reader to your pocket otherwise
Food stamps have NO RFID ie tap to pay. No chip and pin. Etc.
It's tech from the 60s it's why we made chip and pin for credit cards. But EBT benefits don't have credit features
I have guardianship of my 10-year-old grandson. I've had my ebt benefit's stolen twice in 18 months. The state reimbued me for both. I was sent a letter from welfare telling me if it happened again the next 36 month the funds would not be replaced. I can have the cash deposited to my reg bank account, it hasn't happened yet.
Go back to coupons
tap card? Easier to steal......
Not really, the EMV protocol is still present with NFC. there are vulnerabilites but not anything close to how the 90s must've been since everything in the US was swipe only
Talk to your representatives pertaining to the Safety of Commerce. Let them know, they will be included in your class action suit.
GIVE THEM CASH!!!!!
Checks in the mail can be stolen.
@@RaymondHngHand delivered stacks of Benjamin's each month is preferable.
Sloppy organization
And they want a cashless future
Swiping ain't what used to be
Solution in the meantime until getting switched to chip cards or even better adding digital version smartphone wallet: => utilizing 2 step verification through authentication app for one time access, then blocking any transaction until next try. Also, if anyone tries to use stolen info, and the actual user does not recognize attempt using the account, then can be blocked by just replying no, then filing fraud report by calling or through the app if available.
The store staff members or Indian hackers and now imagine immigrants with no education who can be used by local small businesses.
We’ve Chinese ladies in 7th and market buying from individuals people who receive EBT cards!
You mean that they are buying EBT cards from someone who is receiving aid? That’s fraud
P.S. if you can't afford 6 kids, you should NOT be allowed to crap out a 7th.
Skimming from scamming families who work the system! As a tax payer i say end this program.
Change your card
6 kids plus a baby on the way?
It's those Iranian corner stores doing it
If you have government benefits you qualify for a cell phone. So the argument that they can’t get the app is moot. Also seven kids?
Wait you say 7 kids

7 kids!!!!! 😳
Democrat Utopia….
😂 what a bunch of losers
