What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "SNAP Fraud Reporting Act of 2026," requires States to provide specific data to the Secretary of Agriculture regarding fraud within the supplemental nutrition assistance program. States must submit data covering the most recently concluded five fiscal years within 180 days of the Act's enactment. Subsequent annual data must be submitted within 60 days after October 1 of each year. The requested information includes details on investigation cases, criminal activities like card skimming, enforcement actions, and recoveries. The bill also requires data on fraud involving deceased persons or the use of falsified or stolen social security numbers. Finally, it mandates that the Secretary submit and publish reports to Congress based on this collected data.
