Latest action (19 Mar 2026): Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
What this bill does
H.R. 8028, the SNAP Fraud Reporting Act of 2026, would require states to report data on fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Within 180 days of enactment, states would submit five years of data covering open fraud investigations, identified fraud cases (including card skimming and cloning), enforcement actions, recovered funds, and cases involving deceased individuals' identities or missing, falsified, or stolen Social Security numbers. States would then submit updated annual data each October starting in 2028.
The bill affects state agencies that administer SNAP, which would face new reporting obligations, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which would compile and publish reports to Congress based on the state data. States that fail to submit required data on time would have their SNAP administrative funding withheld until compliance. SNAP recipients are not directly regulated, but the bill focuses on identifying and tracking fraud within the program.
The bill was introduced on March 19, 2026, by Rep. David Taylor and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. It has not yet been voted on by the committee, the full House, or the Senate, and would need to pass both chambers and be signed by the President to become law.
