Families could get SNAP benefits replaced if thieves steal them from EBT cards or other electronic systems. The bill also gives federal investigators more power to pursue SNAP theft and makes thieves pay a civil penalty worth twice what they stole.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
SNAP Anti-Theft and Victim Compensation Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
Latest action on H.R. 3887: Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects SNAP households whose food benefits are stolen from EBT cards or electronic systems. It also affects states, which would have to check theft claims, repay eligible households, and report data each year. Federal investigators and law enforcement agencies would get a larger role in SNAP theft cases. People who knowingly steal SNAP benefits could face a new money penalty on top of other penalties.
Why this matters: Stolen SNAP benefits can leave a family without food money for the rest of the month. This bill would let states replace those benefits when the household did not cause the theft. It also tries to make SNAP theft easier to investigate and more costly for thieves. The main uncertainty is how the Agriculture Department writes the rules and how well states can run the repayment and reporting systems.
