The introduced bill text says Meng introduced H.R. 9359 and would require regulations for reissuing SNAP benefits stolen through identity theft or typical skimming practices.
Assessments
Grace Meng materially supported the promise by sponsoring H.R. 9359, the Ending Stolen SNAP Benefits Act of 2026, in the 119th Congress; the bill text matches the goal of permanent federal authority to reissue stolen SNAP benefits. However, the current official record shows only introduction and referral to the House Agriculture Committee on June 18, 2026, with no enactment or completed federal authority. Under the rubric, this is a serious same-term legislative attempt that did not deliver the promised outcome.
