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) for the five most recent fiscal years, within 180 days after the law takes effect. The data would include open fraud investigations, identified fraud cases such as card skimming and cloning, dollar amounts, enforcement actions, and recoveries. For future years, states would also report people disqualified for using a deceased person's benefits or identity, or for using a missing or false Social Security number. States would then submit this data each year, and the Secretary would withhold certain funds from any state that does not report on time. The Secretary would send reports on the findings to Congress and make them public.
