Tennessee’s Department of Human Services has agreed to pay nearly $7 million to resolve allegations of submitting false information to the USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known until 2008 as the Food Stamp Program.  Under the direction of the Julie Osnes Consulting firm, numerous state agencies—including Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin—allegedly submitted false quality control data to the USDA, receiving performance bonuses as a result.  This is the ninth settlement in the matter; more than $67 million has been recovered thus far.  USAO EDWA
