Bill Summary
A BILL To provide appropriations for the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 during the first lapse in appropriations in a fiscal year.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Feed Our Families Act of 2025, addresses funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) during potential government funding lapses. Specifically, the bill ensures that for any fiscal year starting after September 30, 2024, if there is an interruption in discretionary appropriations for the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, necessary funds will automatically be appropriated from the U.S. Treasury to continue SNAP operations for the first 90 days of such a lapse. The funds will be placed in reserve and used only as needed to maintain program operations, and they will remain available until fully expended. This proactive approach aims to prevent disruptions in food assistance for low-income families during potential government budget impasses, ensuring that critical nutrition support can continue even if regular appropriations are temporarily suspended.
