Of the state’s 550,000 food stamp, or SNAP, recipients, 1,794 have balances of more than $1,500, and another 45 are carrying more than $5,000. • One balance in March hit $12,088, the highest from any of the seven months of data the Herald reviewed. • For those receiving state taxpayer-funded cash assistance, one EBT cardholder had a $4,622 balance, and another $4,320. On average, state households receive $230 a month in food stamps and $450 in cash assistance, meaning some of these EBT cardholders are going months, even years, without using their accounts. - See more at: bostonherald/news_opinion/local_coverage/2013/07/latest_ebt_scandal_hoarding_handouts_including_12088_in_1_food#sthash.soJhpkrW.dpuf
