Hannah Luogon

On February 23, 2026, a Detective with the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office received a Fraud Prevention Investigation referral (FPI) regarding Hannah Luogon [DOB REDACTED], hereinafter Defendant, as well as J. K., an adult man fully identified in police reports. The FPI indicated that Defendant may have failed to report J. K.’s income when applying for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Officers investigated Defendant’s SNAP applications and determined that Defendant had received SNAP benefits between March of 2025, and March of 2026, and that during this timeframe Defendant had submitted three applications for SNAP benefits.

On those applications Defendant indicated that she was the only member of her household who was working and that no other household members were either employed outside the home, or self-employed. However, J. K., who resides with Defendant, was determined to be self-employed as a Lyft driver, and received payments from Lyft every month between March of 2025 and March of 2026, and that he had grossed at least $23,000 in the six months before the FPI was submitted. It was also determined that Defendant had begun work with a company called Sevita in August of 2025, but failed to report this income until January of 2026. Due to her failure to report J. K.’s self-employment income as well her own income Defendant received an overpayment of SNAP benefits in the amount of $8,016.00 between March of 2025 and March of 2026. Both Defendant and J. K. Are Dakota County residents and therefore the SNAP overpayment was made by Dakota County Employment & Economic Assistance.
