This bill establishes a mechanism to ensure continued funding for the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 , which supports the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), during periods of government funding instability. Its primary purpose is to prevent disruptions to food assistance for eligible families. The legislation mandates the appropriation of necessary funds from the Treasury for the first 90-day period of any lapse in discretionary appropriations affecting SNAP. Applicable to fiscal years beginning after September 30, 2024, these funds are to be held in reserve and used only as required to maintain essential program operations, ensuring they remain available until expended.
