HR 9370 United States House · 118th Congress

To require State agencies to inform recipients of supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits, participants in the WIC program, and recipients of assistance under the TANF program of card skimming, card cloning, and similar fraudulent methods of stealing such benefits or assistance; and for other purposes.

HR 9370 requires state agencies administering SNAP, WIC, and TANF programs to inform beneficiaries about card skimming and cloning fraud risks, prevention steps, how to report stolen benefits, and the replacement process. It mandates that states provide clear, plain-language guidance on avoiding fraud and accessing support if benefits are stolen. The bill also directs the USDA to issue cybersecurity rules within one year, requiring states to transition to chip-enabled EBT cards within five years to match private-sector security standards. This applies to all recipients of these federally funded assistance programs, directly protecting vulnerable populations from financial fraud.
