AI Summary
This bill, called the "Fairness for Victims of SNAP Skimming Act of 2025", amends the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 to expand the replacement of stolen Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Specifically, the bill modifies Section 501(b)(2) of the existing law to change how stolen benefits are replaced for SNAP recipients. The amendment requires that the replacement benefits shall be equal to the full amount of benefits stolen from the household, removing previous limitations or conditions on benefit replacement. This change aims to provide more comprehensive protection for SNAP participants whose benefits have been fraudulently taken, potentially through electronic skimming or other theft methods, by ensuring they can receive a complete replacement of the stolen funds.
