This article seems to suggest the rate of food stamp fraud is on the gradual decline.
Rates of non qualified recipients decreased by one third since 1999, and benefits given in error decreased in 41 states.
However, this only takes into account errors by the case workers and distribution of food stamp benefits. This does not consider the private wrong doings of food stamp recipients. For example, the buying of pop and reselling, couldn't be traced merely through statistics.
