Stop Child Hunger Act of 2025

This bill would expand a program called Summer EBT, which gives grocery-buying benefits to low-income families with school-aged children during summer break, so that it also covers times when schools are closed, operating remotely, or running on a hybrid schedule for five or more weekdays in a row. It would increase the daily benefit amount to cover the cost of breakfast, lunch, and a snack for each day school is closed. The bill also requires the federal government to initially pay 100% of the costs states spend running the program starting in 2026, with that share gradually dropping back down to 50% by 2031. Additionally, it directs the Department of Agriculture to give grants to states to help them build or upgrade the computer systems needed to run the program.
