Plain-English Summary

States would be required to collect and report data on fraud cases in the food stamp program (SNAP) to help the federal government track misuse of benefits. This would affect state welfare agencies and potentially impact how the program is monitored for abuse. The measure aims to give policymakers better information about where fraud is occurring so they can address problems more effectively.
