Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, and extended it with the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, which allowed state agencies to use federal funds to replace SNAP benefits stolen between October 1, 2022, and December 20, 2024 via card skimming, card cloning, and other similar methods. Some provisions applied. The department also received state funds to replace TANF, SFA, RCA, PWA and ABD cash benefits stolen between July 1, 2024, and December 20, 2024 via card skimming, card cloning, and other similar methods. Due to funding limitations, claims for replacement of stolen cash or food benefits must be received by September 19, 2025.
