Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act of 2026 strengthens cybersecurity for EBT cards and online transactions under the Supplemental Nutrition.
The Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act of 2026 amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to enhance cybersecurity measures for EBT cards and online transactions. The Secretary of Agriculture must promulgate regulations to ensure EBT cards are chip-enabled and resistant to cloning. States must offer multiple user interfaces for managing EBT accounts, including mobile-friendly options. The bill prohibits replacement fees for EBT cards damaged, lost, or stolen due to fraud. It also mandates chip-enabled payment terminals for retailers participating in the SNAP program.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
