Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025

This bill would automatically provide federal money to keep SNAP (food stamps) and WIC benefits going during fiscal year 2026 whenever Congress has not passed regular or temporary funding for the Department of Agriculture. It would also fund nutrition block grants under the SNAP law. The money would cover benefits missed starting September 30, 2025, and would be used to repay states for costs of running these programs during a funding lapse if they followed federal law. The funding would end when Agriculture Department funding is enacted or on September 30, 2026, whichever comes first, and spending would later be charged to the regular appropriation.
