This legislation aims to enhance protections for beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by amending the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. It specifically addresses the replacement of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) benefits that have been stolen from eligible households. The core provision of the bill mandates that any replacement of stolen EBT benefits must be equal to the full amount of benefits stolen from a household. This critical change removes existing limitations or caps on the amount that can be reimbursed to victims of EBT theft, ensuring they are fully compensated for their lost food assistance.
