What this bill would do

This bill is called the "SNAP SECURE Act of 2025." Its purpose is to compensate people who have had their supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits stolen. It does this by extending the date in Section 501(b)(2)(C) of division HH of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 from 2024 to 2034.
