Fairness for Victims of SNAP Skimming Act of 2023

The Fairness for Victims of SNAP Skimming Act of 2023 ensures that SNAP recipients who have had benefits stolen from their EBT cards through skimming fraud receive full replacement for the exact amount stolen. It amends the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 to require that replacement benefits equal the stolen amount, rather than potentially less under previous rules. This directly affects SNAP households victimized by EBT skimming, guaranteeing they are fully compensated for their losses. The bill makes a concrete policy change to the benefit replacement process without altering SNAP eligibility or broader program administration.
