2025 Propel survey of EBT theft awareness and impact: State supplement
This report highlights growing concerns among SNAP recipients about electronic benefit theft and underscores the need for systemic protections.
The report presents findings from Propel’s 2025 survey, revealing heightened awareness and concern about EBT theft among users, particularly in California, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania—states with significant SNAP populations.
Despite individuals taking precautionary measures, such as changing PINs and monitoring card readers, many still fall victim to theft, often without reimbursement due to a lack of awareness about claim processes. The report emphasizes the insufficiency of current protections and advocates for comprehensive, systemic solutions to safeguard vulnerable families reliant on SNAP benefits.
