Massachusetts welfare recipients spent taxpayer funds in Hawaii, other vacation destinations

'It’s insanity and government at its worst,' Republican state Sen. Ryan Fattman said

 

MassFiscal Alliance spokesman Paul Diego Craney tells 'America Reports' taxpayers overwhelmingly oppose subsidizing migrants.

Welfare recipients in Massachusetts spent taxpayer dollars while traveling to tropical vacation destinations and in states located thousands of miles away from New England, according to a new investigation by The Boston Herald.

Public records requested by the Herald showed taxpayer-funded EBT cards were used in Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, California, Florida, Alaska, and in several other locations across the country. Over $3 billion federal and state dollars were doled out to recipients in the blue state in Fiscal Year 2024.

In Hawaii, there were 32 charges on EBT cards this year, with the largest expenditure amounting to $378 in March on the island of Maui, the report said.

Three hundred fifty-one dollars more was spent in Hilo, another popular tourist destination in Hawaii, known for its beautiful waterfalls and lush rainforests. According to public records, EBT money was also spent in Honolulu, Pearl City, Princeville, Waikoloa, and Captain Cook.

That's not all. Massachusetts' EBT dollars were spent in virtually every state in the U.S., including 165 cities and towns in California and in 293 locations in Florida, the report said.

Over a dozen expenditures were also recorded in the Virgin Islands and in Alaska this year, which included a $395 charge in Anchorage.

Republican state Sen. Ryan Fattman called the report's findings, "insanity and government at its worst."

"This makes no sense. It’s insanity and government at its worst," he told The Herald. "What the hell is someone doing in Hawaii? We need this money to help feed families," he said. "This tells me there’s a major problem with this system."

There are restrictions on what the EBT funds can be used for. They cannot be used to purchase alcohol, firearms or ammunition, pornography, recreational marijuana or for gambling or lottery tickets, among other restrictions.

Usage while traveling must also be approved, the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance said. Failure to do so may result in benefits being terminated.

"Individuals receiving public assistance through the Department of Transitional Assistance use these benefits to meet their most basic needs and qualify by having an annual income that is at least 200 percent below the federal poverty level. State and federal laws regulate what can be purchased with benefits and where purchases can be made, and any out-of-state usage beyond approved temporary absences can result in an individual no longer receiving assistance due to not meeting Massachusetts residency requirements," The DTA said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Over $11 billion in food and economic assistance has been given to qualifying residents in the past three fiscal years, the Herald report said.

Massachusetts is a sanctuary state and allows migrants access to these welfare programs. An estimated 50,000 illegal immigrants have flocked to the state since 2021.

A recent report from The Center for Immigration Studies projected that the state's migrant crisis would cost taxpayers $1.8 billion over the next two years. 

Migrants are eligible for food stamps provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, and other public services. Migrants can access these programs even while the federal government prohibits access to such programs.

Walz subpoenaed by House for COVID fraud oversight failure

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was subpoenaed by the House Education Committee on Wednesday as part of the GOP lawmakers' latest investigation into the Democratic presidential ticket, probing into an issue that has long been Walz's kryptonite: child nutrition programs.

Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate has focused on making his state the best place to raise a family and notably created universal school meals. But his administration's role in a fraud case involving children is now in the spotlight.

A Minnesota-based nonprofit, Feeding Our Future, is accused of misusing $250 million of taxpayer dollars from a COVID-19 relief fund intended to feed children in need.

Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., wrote in the letter that the committee is investigating Walz's oversight of the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), which administered the federal child nutrition program.

"As the chief executive and the highest ranking official in the state of Minnesota, you are responsible for the MDE and its administration of (federal child nutrition programs)," she said.

Agriculture Inspector General Phyllis Fong, Commissioner of Education Willie Jett, and U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack were also subpoenaed.

NBC News first reported the subpoenas.

When in doubt, subpoena it out

House GOP leadership is shifting its sights away from former President Joe Biden, who stepped off the ticket in July to make way for Harris and new Democratic hopefuls.

Earlier this month, the House Oversight Committee opened an investigation into Walz's ties to China. During his tenure as a geography teacher, Walz spent a year teaching in the region and coordinated his high school's annual trips to China.

The committee has also probed Harris for her role as the southern border liaison as migrant influxes surge.

The House Armed Services subcommittee is targeting Walz for misstatements about his time serving in the U.S. Army National Guard.

Feeding our Future fraud

Walz has not shied away from addressing the largest pandemic relief fraud in the nation, which happened right under his nose.

At a press conference in August, before being picked by Harris, Walz addressed his administration's lack of fraud prevention and a scathing legislative audit that called the MDE's oversight "inadequate."

"I think what you're seeing is if you commit fraud in Minnesota, you are going to be caught as you are going to go to prison," Walz said. He pointed to administrative changes and safeguards to prevent future fraud, such as implementing an inspector general for the MDE.

The federal government charged over 70 defendants, five of whom have been convicted of fraud, while the rest await trial.

Feeding our Future benefited from the child nutrition program designed to aid hungry children during the pandemic, as schools and care facilities were shut down. Prosecutors allege Feeding our Future submitted fake names of children to the Department of Education to receive funds.

Walz and the other officials subpoenaed have until Sept. 18 to release the documents requested.
