Virginia Families Face Devastation as EBT SNAP Benefits Are Stolen

Thousands of families across Virginia who rely on EBT SNAP benefits are falling victim to theft, leaving them without the resources to buy food and other essential items.

These stolen benefits are often impossible to recover, leaving vulnerable residents—seniors, children, and low-income households—hungry and struggling.

We cannot stand by as our neighbors suffer.

The current system lacks the necessary protections to prevent fraud, and victims are left with no safety net. This is unacceptable.

We demand that lawmakers take immediate action to:

• Implement stronger fraud prevention measures, including more secure card technology.
• Establish reimbursement policies to restore stolen funds to victims.
• Ensure timely and effective responses when theft occurs.
• Investigate and prosecute those responsible for stealing benefits, holding them accountable for their actions.

Together, we can ensure that no Virginian goes hungry because of a preventable failure in the system.
