A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to pass H.R. 7658 and S. 3949, the Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act of 2026, or create and enact other legislation to require the implementation of stronger security measures to protect Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.

This Pennsylvania House resolution urges the U.S. Congress to pass the Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act of 2026 to protect Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits from theft and fraud. The bill proposes requiring all states to upgrade to more secure chip-enabled EBT cards and mandates that federal security regulations be updated at least every five years. It directly affects the millions of low-income individuals and families in Pennsylvania and across the country who rely on SNAP for food assistance. The measure aims to address rising instances of benefit theft through methods like card skimming and cloning, which have left many residents without food.
