Federal charges related to the SNAP program.
Quote:" Each of the 11 people indicted face one count of conspiring to defraud the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and one charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Prosecutors say church leaders ordered members to use their SNAP benefits to buy food and then give it to the FLDS Storehouse, a communal clearinghouse that collects and distributes commodities to the community. The leaders tell church members that they must obtain their food and household goods solely through the storehouse, the indictment alleges. A large percentage of FLDS Church members living in Short Creek receive SNAP benefits, amounting to millions of dollars in benefits per year, the news release said."
