I agree with Martian's "how I would handle this", for FUTURE issues.
For the CURRENT issue, unless there's policy in place to the contrary, it's not your job to enforce food stamp laws. Unless the company or you personally could be liable, it's not up to you to make sure she stays square with her contract with the food stamp program. As far as you're concerned, I'd treat the current ones like she paid cash, and get on with your life.
Martian's bang on the money that something needs to be set up to prevent this from even coming up. In fact, you might take her aside and say, look, I see what you're doing here, and it's not my job to keep you lawful, and I'm going to reimburse you this time, but the policy is changing, so please don't try this again.
