Fairness for Victims of SNAP Skimming Act of 2025
This bill amends the law governing replacement of stolen Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. It directly affects SNAP recipients who have had benefits stolen through EBT skimming (criminal theft from electronic benefit cards). The key change requires that replacement benefits equal the exact amount stolen from a household, replacing the previous calculation method. This ensures victims receive full compensation for their stolen benefits under federal rules.
