Requires State to adopt practices to reduce SNAP benefits theft and to replace stolen SNAP benefits under certain circumstances; upgrades criminal penalties for SNAP benefits theft; makes appropriation.

New Jersey's S 4641 requires the Department of Human Services to implement security measures to protect SNAP recipients' benefits from theft, including mandating strong PINs, two-factor authentication for balance checks, and educating recipients on fraud prevention. The bill upgrades criminal penalties for SNAP theft: stealing $150 or more becomes a third-degree crime (up to 5 years in prison), while theft under $150 becomes a fourth-degree crime (up to 18 months). It also establishes a process for replacing stolen benefits after recipients submit a police report or evidence of fraud, using state funds if federal funds aren't available. The law directly affects SNAP recipients in New Jersey by enhancing security and creating a clear path to recover stolen benefits.
