Lets people get full replacement for stolen food assistance benefits.
This bill would make it easier for families to replace food assistance benefits if they are stolen from their EBT cards. It would remove current limits on how much can be replaced and how often, ensuring people get back the full amount lost. This helps households relying on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Today, federal law limits the replacement of stolen food assistance benefits by setting specific dates for when the theft must have occurred, capping the replacement amount, and limiting how often replacements can be made. This bill would remove all these restrictions, allowing for the full amount of stolen benefits to be replaced, regardless of when the theft happened or how many times it occurs in a year.
