Anonymous SNAP Benefits Fraud Tip Form

Report SNAP Fraud Confidentially and Protect Program Integrity

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits provide essential food assistance to millions of Americans, and protecting the program from fraud helps ensure resources reach those who truly need them. This Anonymous SNAP Benefits Fraud Tip Form makes it easy for concerned citizens, caseworkers, retailers and community members to report suspected fraud confidentially.

Why Use This Form for SNAP Fraud Reporting?

Traditional fraud reporting often involves phone calls, paper forms or in-person visits that can feel intimidating or time-consuming. This Paperform template streamlines the entire process with a professional, accessible online form that can be submitted 24/7 from any device. The anonymous structure encourages honest reporting while capturing all the critical details investigators need—from EBT card misuse and benefit trafficking to retailer violations and eligibility fraud.

Key benefits include:

• True anonymity: Optional contact information means tipsters can remain completely anonymous or provide details only if they're comfortable
• Comprehensive incident capture: Structured questions guide reporters through the who, what, when, where and how of suspected fraud
• Recipient protection safeguards: Built-in questions help distinguish between genuine fraud and innocent mistakes or misunderstandings
• Attachment support: Upload photos, receipts, screenshots or other evidence to strengthen the tip
• Routing-ready structure: Submissions are formatted to align with USDA FNS investigative workflows, making it easy to route tips to the appropriate state or federal agency

Ideal for Government Agencies, Nonprofits and Community Organizations

This form template is designed for:

• State SNAP agencies managing benefit integrity programs
• USDA Food and Nutrition Service regional and national offices
• County social services departments with fraud investigation units
• Inspector General offices overseeing public assistance programs
