The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that benefits under two important nutrition assistance programs—the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)—continue without interruption. This is particularly crucial during times when the federal budget is not finalized, which can lead to delays in funding. Key provisions of the legislation include the allocation of necessary funds to the Secretary of Agriculture for the fiscal year 2026.
