To authorize the reimbursement by the Federal Government of State funds used to maintain participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children in the event of a Government shutdown.

This bill addresses what happens to the WIC nutrition program for women, infants, and children when federal funding lapses during a government shutdown. If a State agency uses its own State funds to keep WIC participation going during the lapse, that State agency would be eligible to be paid back by the Federal Government. The reimbursement would happen after the funding lapse ends.
