What this bill would do

This bill is called the ``Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025''. Its main job is to provide funding to keep the supplemental nutrition assistance program running without any interruptions. It covers fiscal year 2026 whenever regular funding for the Department of Agriculture has not been passed yet. The bill also pays for any missed benefits that happened between September 30, 2025, and the date the bill is enacted. This funding will stop as soon as regular appropriations for the Department of Agriculture for fiscal year 2026 become law.
