Urges United States President, Congress, and USDA to take steps to protect SNAP beneficiaries from fraud.
This concurrent resolution (ACR 123) urges the U.S. President, Congress, and USDA to address rising SNAP benefit fraud. It specifically requests permanent federal authorization to replace stolen SNAP benefits retroactively to October 2021 (not just 2022), and funding to transition all SNAP EBT cards from vulnerable magnetic strips to secure EMV chip technology. The resolution targets fraud where criminals install skimming devices on point-of-sale terminals to steal card data and duplicate EBT cards, leaving SNAP recipients without recourse. It directly affects low-income households nationwide who rely on SNAP benefits for food assistance. The resolution does not create new law but calls for federal action to protect this vulnerable population.
