## Provisions PRIA read

- Full replacement for stolen SNAP benefits: benefit, low. If enacted, SNAP households with stolen EBT benefits would get back the full amount stolen. Replacement would match dollar-for-dollar what was taken. The bill would remove existing provisions that could reduce the payback. It does not set an effective date or a dollar cap.
