SNAP Fraud Reporting Act of 2026

This bill would require each state to send the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture data on fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Within 180 days of the law taking effect, states would report data for the last five fiscal years, including open fraud cases, identified fraud cases such as card skimming and cloning, dollar amounts, enforcement actions, and money recovered. States would then report each year starting in 2028, including data on people disqualified for fraud involving deceased persons' identities or missing or false Social Security numbers. A state that does not send the data on time would have its SNAP administrative funds withheld until the data are received. The Secretary would report the findings to Congress and publish the reports online.
