From FRAC:

WASHINGTON, December 14, 2024 — The Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) and the Coalition on Human Needs (CHN) are urging Congress to prioritize extending the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) replacement benefits in the Farm Bill extension within the end-of-year spending package.

“As families gather to celebrate the holidays, Congress must act to protect our most vulnerable families from SNAP benefit theft,” said Crystal FitzSimons, FRAC’s interim president. “It is unconscionable that some in Congress would stand in the way of providing SNAP replacement benefits to those who have been victims of fraud.”
