Bill 118 hr 9370, also known as the "Benefit Fraud Prevention Act," aims to protect recipients of government assistance programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program from fraudulent activities like card skimming and cloning.

The bill requires State agencies to inform individuals receiving benefits from these programs about the risks of card skimming, cloning, and other fraudulent methods that could result in the theft of their benefits. By educating recipients about these potential threats, the bill seeks to empower them to protect their benefits and prevent fraud.

In addition to raising awareness about benefit fraud, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to safeguarding government assistance programs.
