I remember a co-worker once on a rant about allegedly seeing a person in a grocery line buying food with food stamps, yet had previously flashed a wad of cash from his pocket.

The co-worker's conclusion was that they should eliminate food stamps. I tried to explain that the goal of food stamps was to give needy aid. There was a budget for that. Would there be cheaters in the client mix?

Name any human endeavor that doesn't have cheaters. As the cheaters waste some of the budget meant to help, so does using some of the budget to police and catch cheaters. When the money spent on policing exceeds the cost of the cheating, it's gone too far.

The goal after all wasn't to build a cheat-free food supplement program, but one that helped the most people. When managing such programs, it's important not to lose sight of your initial objectives.
