Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • This bill ensures the USDA can continue providing SNAP food assistance benefits without interruption if a full budget isn't passed by the end of fiscal year 2025.
  • Low-income households that rely on SNAP food benefits are affected by ensuring their assistance doesn't get cut off during budget negotiations.
  • The bill appropriates funds to cover missed SNAP payments since September 30, 2025, and stays in effect until Congress passes a permanent budget.

  2. 02

    What are the potential costs and benefits of allowing SNAP to continue operating separately when a full federal budget hasn't been finalized?

  3. 03

    Does retroactively funding SNAP payments from September 30, 2025, adequately address gaps in food assistance, or are additional measures needed?
