Congress passed a law in late 2022 to help SNAP participants who are victims of card skimming, cloning and other similar methods. To implement this new law, states are worked quickly to develop and implement processes to help people whose SNAP benefits were stolen seek and obtain relief. FNS lists approved state plans on this page. Congressional authority to replace stolen benefits expired on December 20, 2024.
FNS is working closely with our state and federal partners, SNAP retailers, EBT processors, and other industry experts to protect SNAP benefits and combat SNAP fraud.
