Bill overview
The SNAP Payment Security and Fraud Prevention Act of 2026 aims to strengthen the security of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and combat fraud. It expands the investigative authority of the Department of Agriculture’s Inspector General to include cybercrime, establishes a civil penalty for unauthorized benefit access, and mandates cybersecurity regulations for EBT cards, including the use of chip-enabled technology. The bill also addresses issues like card replacement fees and ensures timely access to replacement cards for damaged or lost cards, while requiring retailers to utilize chip-enabled payment terminals.
