Stop Child Hunger Act of 2025

This bill expands a program that gives grocery money to low-income families with school-aged children. Currently, the Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer Program only works when schools are closed for summer, but this bill would also cover times when schools are closed, doing remote learning, or doing hybrid learning for five or more weekdays in a row. The bill increases the daily benefit amount to cover breakfast, lunch, and a snack for each day school is closed. For 2026, the federal government would pay 100% of states' costs to run the program, then gradually reduce that to 50% by 2031.
