What this bill would do

The bill is called the SNAP Anti-Theft and Victim Compensation Act of 2025. It gives the Inspector General of the Department of Agriculture full authority to investigate and coordinate efforts to stop the theft and misuse of SNAP benefits. The bill allows states to use SNAP benefit funds to reimburse households whose benefits were stolen through no fault of their own. It also creates a civil penalty for anyone who knowingly steals SNAP benefits, making them pay twice the value of the stolen benefits.
