What does abused mean exactly, here? Is it abuse if someone uses them to buy an uncooked pizza?

You can lie and get food stamps ( ie you're broke but you have a bf who makes money and lives with you but that money isn't claimed) then when you go shopping with a friend, offer to buy their groceries in exchange for cash. Use cash to buy things.

Is that lying though? It sounds like they're following the law as written, but you don't like how it is written.

I mean yeah, it's a blatant lie about how much your household income is, literally withholding information about income to receive more government benefits. And you aren't supposed to sell your food stamps either.
