A 7543 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the reissuance of SNAP benefits in instances of fraud or theft of such benefits

This bill allows SNAP (food stamp) recipients to receive replacement benefits if their benefits are stolen through fraud like card skimming, cloning, or third-party deception. It requires social services districts to replace stolen benefits within five business days without requiring police reports, capping replacements at the lesser of the stolen amount or two months' benefits per household. The bill limits replacements to twice yearly for thefts before October 2024 and once yearly after, while exempting replacements from future benefit deductions. It directly affects SNAP recipients who experience verified benefit theft, streamlining the recovery process.
