. . . and he experienced this very thing . He relies on that benefit, and when they cut off his card after he reports fraud, it causes real hardship for him.

At the same time, beyond telling him in what state money was withdrawn, the agency refuses to share with him any specific information (such as the ATM location and other details), that would enable him to follow up with law enforcement.
