During appropriations lapses, should the federal government reimburse states that voluntarily continue operating SNAP, or should states bear those costs themselves?
- 02
What evidence exists that states can sustainably operate SNAP during federal funding gaps, and what happens to program quality if reimbursement is delayed?
- 03
