SNAP Anti-Theft and Victim Compensation Act of 2025
Key claim: The SNAP Anti-Theft and Victim Compensation Act of 2025 (HR3887) would address theft of SNAP benefits and compensate victims, and was referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
Abstract
(HR3887 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-06-10): Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
Why this matters
SNAP benefit theft via EBT card skimming and cloning has caused documented losses for low-income households, and federal authority to replace stolen benefits has been uneven since prior replacement provisions lapsed. HR3887 is one of several 119th Congress bills responding to this gap by pairing anti-theft measures with victim compensation, signaling continued bipartisan legislative attention to SNAP payment integrity. Direct effects would fall on recipients (restored benefits) and state EBT administrators; farmer and food-price effects are indirect.
