There used to be a time that taking services was seen as something to avoid/hide. Its a blessing and a curse that it is no longer shameful.
I am happy we have options when things go bad. I hope I never know the feeling of worrying about where my next meal is coming from.
ALso, IIRC there are certain services that have a number limit (like the first X number ofpeople). WIC is like that I think. So if you take the service but don’t really need it, you are potentially blocking someone that really needs it.
And yes, FRAUD should be stopped 100%!
