ACR 60 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges United States President, Congress, and USDA to take steps to protect SNAP beneficiaries from fraud.

ACR 60 is a New Jersey concurrent resolution urging the U.S. President, Congress, and USDA to address SNAP benefit fraud. It specifically calls for federal action to protect SNAP beneficiaries - low-income households receiving food assistance - whose EBT cards are vulnerable to "skimming" fraud (where criminals steal card data via illegal devices at checkout). The resolution requests three concrete changes: permanently authorize federal funds to replace stolen benefits (instead of the temporary 2022-2024 window), retroactively cover losses from October 2021, and provide federal funding to transition SNAP EBT cards to secure EMV chip technology (replacing vulnerable magnetic strips). This is a non-binding request to federal authorities, not a law.
