Keep WIC Working Act

This bill would provide funding for the WIC nutrition program for women, infants, and children during any government shutdown that affects the Department of Agriculture in fiscal year 2026. The money would come from the U.S. Treasury in whatever amounts are needed to keep WIC running. It would also pay back states for their own funds spent to keep WIC participation going from September 30, 2025, until the bill becomes law. The funding would end once regular or continuing Department of Agriculture funding for fiscal year 2026 is enacted.
