Fairness for Victims of SNAP Skimming Act of 2025
This bill amends a provision of the 2023 federal law governing SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) to ensure victims of EBT skimming receive full replacement of stolen benefits. It requires that replaced benefits equal the exact amount stolen from a household, directly affecting SNAP recipients who have been victims of benefit theft. The key change replaces the previous wording to specify the replacement amount must match the stolen value, removing ambiguity. This policy change ensures affected households receive the full benefit amount they lost due to criminal activity, without requiring them to prove additional hardship.
