Replacement of Stolen Benefits

Statutory authority to replace stolen benefits expired on Dec. 20, 2024, thus SNAP benefits stolen on or after Dec. 21, 2024, are not eligible for replacement using federal funds.

Contact your state agency to report stolen SNAP benefits.

Households have 45 calendar days after the state has started their plan (July 14, 2023) to submit a retroactive claim. Submit regular claims within 45 calendar days of date of theft. Submit claims by phone, mail, email, or in-person at local offices. The state has 10 business days after report of loss, or 2 business days after claim submission (whichever is later) to validate the claim.

Benefit Availability: Benefits for approved claims are issued within 10 business days after report of loss or 2 business days after claim submission (whichever is later). You must replace your card.
