This bill aims to guarantee the continuous operation of critical nutrition assistance programs by appropriating funds to ensure uninterrupted benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) . These funds would become available during fiscal year 2026 if regular interim or full-year appropriations for the Department of Agriculture are not enacted. The primary goal is to prevent any disruption in food assistance for eligible individuals and families during potential government funding gaps. The legislation directs the Secretary of Agriculture to use these appropriated sums to provide SNAP benefits, including consolidated block grants, and to carry out the WIC program without interruption. It also includes a provision for retroactive payments to cover any missed benefits between September 30, 2025, and the bill's enactment date. Furthermore, the bill ensures that State agencies are reimbursed for costs incurred while administering SNAP and WIC during an appropriations lapse, provided they adhered to federal regulations. These emergency appropriations would cease upon the enactment of regular FY2026 appropriations for USDA or by September 30, 2026, whichever comes first.
