Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025

This bill would provide federal money to keep SNAP (food stamps) benefits and the WIC program for women, infants, and children running during fiscal year 2026 whenever regular funding for the Department of Agriculture has not been passed. It would also cover SNAP-related block grants. The money would pay for any benefits missed from September 30, 2025, until the bill becomes law. The Secretary of Agriculture would use the money to repay state agencies for costs of running these programs during a funding lapse, if they followed federal rules. The funding would end when regular Agriculture Department funding is passed or on September 30, 2026, whichever comes first.
