What this bill would do

The "Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025" aims to provide necessary funding for nutrition programs. It specifically targets the supplemental nutrition assistance program and the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children. This bill ensures that benefits continue even if full-year or interim appropriations for the Department of Agriculture have not been enacted for fiscal year 2026. The funds are intended to cover any missed benefits starting from September 30, 2025. These appropriations continue until full appropriations are enacted or until September 30, 2026.
