Bill Summary
A BILL To reduce State administrative costs for administration of both the supplemental nutrition assistance program under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 and the summer electronic benefits transfer program for children under the Richard B. Russell School Lunch Act.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Bridge to Summer Nutrition Act of 2025," aims to reduce the administrative costs for states in managing two crucial nutrition programs: the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families, and the summer electronic benefits transfer (EBT) program for children, which offers food benefits to children who would normally receive free or reduced-price meals at school during the summer months. Specifically, for any fiscal year where a state runs the summer EBT program, the Secretary of Agriculture will reimburse that state for 90 percent of its monthly administrative expenses related to both the summer EBT program and SNAP. This increased federal reimbursement is intended to alleviate the financial burden on states for administering these programs.
