Bill > S3024

This bill, known as the "Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025," is designed to ensure continuous funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a federal program that provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families. Specifically, the bill appropriates necessary funds from the U.S. Treasury to maintain SNAP benefits during fiscal year 2026 if interim or full-year appropriations for the Department of Agriculture have not been enacted. The funding will cover both ongoing benefits and any missed benefits retroactively, starting from September 30, 2025, until the date of enactment of regular agricultural appropriations. This provision aims to prevent interruptions in food assistance that could occur during potential budget gaps or funding delays, ensuring that SNAP recipients continue to receive critical nutrition support without disruption. The bill provides a financial safety net to protect vulnerable populations who rely on SNAP benefits for their daily nutritional needs.
