Congress must extend SNAP skimming reimbursement for low-income families by September 30.

Congress must act by September 30 to extend reimbursement for low-income families affected by SNAP skimming, a form of electronic theft. Since late 2022, states have used federal funds to reimburse victims, with over $61.5 million disbursed to nearly 125,000 households. However, this funding authorization expires soon, and most states lack plans to cover losses independently. Advocates urge immediate legislative action to protect vulnerable families.
