SB 230 Alabama Senate · 2025 Regular Session

SNAP benefits; require reimbursement to recipients for stolen benefits

This bill requires Alabama to reimburse SNAP recipients for benefits stolen from their electronic food assistance cards. It mandates that the state pay back the full amount lost when benefits are stolen due to inadequate security measures, applying to all Alabama residents affected. Payments would begin immediately upon the bill's enactment, addressing financial losses currently borne by vulnerable individuals. The law targets security gaps in the state's handling of SNAP benefits without altering program eligibility or funding.
