Food Stamps or Business Startup: The EBT Case We All Should Understand

A Michigan mother of five, Talia C. Teneyuque is accused of using her Bridge Card benefits to buy baking supplies for an online home-based business. Prosecutors say it’s food-stamp fraud; she says she was simply trying to build something for her family.

Here’s why this matters: The story isn’t just about one woman, it’s a flash-point in a larger debate over what welfare is for, how we define “business” versus “help,” and how support systems handle ambition when paired with need. Authorities argue that benefits intended for household food cannot be used to profit from a business venture. The defense counters that in a landscape of low pay, rising costs, and limited opportunities, side hustles become lifelines. The stakes are high: Teneyuque faces up to ten years in prison and a quarter-million-dollar fine.
