What this bill does
**H.R. 2983 — SNAP SECURE Act of 2025**
This bill would extend, through 2034, a federal program that reimburses states for replacing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits stolen from recipients—such as through card skimming or benefit theft. It does this by amending an existing provision in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, changing the program's expiration date from 2024 to 2034, effectively continuing funding authority that had lapsed or was set to lapse.
The bill primarily affects SNAP recipients whose benefits are stolen, giving states continued federal support to reimburse those victims. It also affects state agencies that administer SNAP, since the funding mechanism helps cover the cost of replacing stolen benefits without shifting that burden entirely onto state budgets.
The bill was introduced on April 24, 2025, by Rep. Al Green of Texas and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture, where it currently awaits further action. As of the latest available information, no additional votes, hearings, or committee actions have been reported. For the bill to become law, it would need to be approved by the committee, pass the House and Senate, and be signed by the President.
