Bill overview
The MEALS Act of 2025 aims to protect children receiving summer food benefits by addressing fraud related to Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards. It requires the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to provide guidance and regulations to states and tribal organizations on preventing theft through methods like card skimming and cloning. If benefits are stolen, the FNS will mandate that states replace the full amount stolen, ensuring eligible households receive adequate support. The bill also directs the GAO to assess the security risks of the Summer EBT payment system.
