What this bill would do

This bill is called the Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025. It aims to make sure that benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program are not interrupted. The bill provides funding to the Secretary of Agriculture for fiscal year 2026 if regular appropriations have not been enacted. It also covers retroactive benefits for any missed benefits from September 30, 2025, until the date the Act is enacted. The funding provided by this bill will end once regular appropriations for the Department of Agriculture for fiscal year 2026 are enacted into law.
