Meng introduces bipartisan bill to reimburse SNAP fraud victims

U.S. Rep. Grace Meng is leading a bipartisan push to protect low-income families who fall victim to skimming and other forms of theft targeting their food benefits.

Meng has introduced the Fairness for Victims of SNAP Skimming Act, a bipartisan, bicameral bill along with U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and U.S. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), that would allow states to reimburse Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients for benefits stolen through fraudulent activity.
