According to reports, a tipster informed the Health and Human Services employee was stealing SNAP card information and selling it on Facebook and Instagram.
A search warrant named two women for allegedly changing PINs on Lone Star cards, preventing owners from using them.An investigation is underway after more than $81,000 in authorized charges were made on hundreds of Lone Star cards. ABC13 obtained a warrant that named a state employee as one of the suspects.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Office of Inspector General began investigating in January following an anonymous call to the state's SNAP fraud hotline. Investigators later found the employee, who works at the Health and Human Services office on West Little York in Acres Homes, had changed the PINs on 211 Lone Star cards from across the state, preventing the rightful owners from using them.
The women are then accused of making unauthorized charges on the cards and selling them to third parties.
