This legislation, known as the Stop Child Hunger Act of 2025 , significantly expands the existing Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) for Children program. Its primary purpose is to ensure children continue to receive food assistance not only during summer months but also during any period of school closure, which includes remote or hybrid learning for five or more consecutive weekdays. The bill mandates that benefits for both summer and school closure periods will be calculated at a rate not less than the value of breakfast, lunch, and a snack at the free rate for each day. Furthermore, it revises the federal share of administrative expenses for State agencies and covered Indian Tribal organizations, transitioning from a 50 percent reimbursement to a phased approach starting at 100 percent in fiscal year 2026 and gradually decreasing to 50 percent by fiscal year 2031. To facilitate this expansion, the bill authorizes the Secretary to establish a program providing implementation grants to States. These grants are intended to support the development or upgrade of data systems necessary for effectively carrying out the expanded EBT program, with an initial allocation of $50,000,000 from the Treasury.
