Dear Community Partner,

Please be advised that the federal authority that allows for the replacement of skimmed SNAP benefits ends on Monday, September 30, 2024. The Department of Social Services is not allowed to issue SNAP skimming replacement for theft that occurs after September 30, 2024. Clients can still file claims for replacement of skimmed SNAP benefits after September 30, 2024, as long as the theft occurred on or before September 30, 2024, and the claim is filed within 30 days after they learned the benefits were stolen. This does not impact claims for skimmed Cash Assistance benefits.
