Expressing support for continued efforts to safeguard the supplemental nutrition assistance program under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 from fraud, waste, and abuse for the Nation's most vulnerable.

Key Points

• Rep. Taylor and other House members introduced this resolution to support efforts to stop people from cheating the food stamp program, also known as SNAP. It highlights that the government found over $10 billion in improper payments in 2025 due to mistakes or people using the program dishonestly.
• The proposal points out that many people are getting benefits they should not have. This includes thousands of people using fake Social Security numbers, people getting benefits in more than one state, and even some who have passed away.
• The goal is to make sure the money goes to the families who actually need it. Supporters believe that by stopping fraud, the government can save billions of dollars and make the program more reliable for the long term. For every dollar spent on finding fraud, the government saves about $21.
• The resolution supports ongoing work to identify and stop waste in the program. It notes that 29 states shared data to help find these issues, but 21 states have refused to share their information with the Department of Agriculture.
