Cruz: Reimbursement is important, but it's no silver bullet.
Cruz introduced legislation that will enable states to use federal SNAP allocations to reimburse stolen benefits permanently.
SNAP is the most effective tool we have for fighting hunger — and it has helped millions of Americans put food on their table when they were struggling.
