People on public assistance who have had their benefits stolen through “skimming” fraud could finally have that money repaid under a new federal bill introduced Friday by U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillbrand, the New York Democrat.
The bill would order states to quickly reissue stolen federal money to the rightful beneficiary, announced the senator, who was accompanied by state lawmakers, at the Chinese-American Planning Council’s senior center on Grand Street in Manhattan.
“Every day, more low-income households are at risk of losing their SNAP benefits and facing hunger without the possibility of justice,” Gillibrand said in a statement. “Every stolen dollar of SNAP benefits is a dollar that struggling New Yorkers can no longer use to put food on the table for their families,” said Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas , who joined Gillibrand at the senior center in calling for the changes.
