Ending Stolen SNAP Benefits Act of 2026
Key claim: The Ending Stolen SNAP Benefits Act of 2026 (HR9359) proposes measures to address theft of SNAP benefits and was referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
Abstract
(HR9359 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-18): Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
Why this matters
SNAP benefit theft via EBT skimming and cloning has become a recurring hardship for low-income households, and multiple 2026 bills now address it in parallel. HR9359 signals sustained congressional attention to program integrity, with potential effects on recipient reimbursement, state administrative burden, and retailer authentication requirements; farmer and food-price effects are indirect.
