What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill would provide backup funding for two major food assistance programs if Congress fails to pass the regular budget for the Department of Agriculture in 2026. The programs are SNAP (food stamps) and WIC (nutrition assistance for pregnant women, new mothers, and young children). If there's a gap in funding, this bill would automatically provide money to keep these programs running without interruption and pay for any missed benefits. The funding would last until either Congress passes a regular budget or until September 30, 2026, whichever comes first.
