To appropriate funds to ensure uninterrupted benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program.
Summary
This bill makes emergency appropriations for fiscal year 2026 to ensure the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) continues to provide benefits during government shutdowns when regular appropriations have not been enacted. The appropriations provide necessary funds for uninterrupted SNAP benefits during any lapse in Department of Agriculture funding. The bill also includes retroactive funding to cover any missed benefits from September 30, 2025, through the date the bill is enacted, ensuring recipients receive back payments for any shutdown period. The emergency appropriations remain available until regular Department of Agriculture appropriations are enacted.
