HF 5133 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program contingency appropriation established, and report required.

This bill creates a state contingency fund to provide up to $20 million per week for up to six weeks to SNAP recipients if federal funding lapses due to a government shutdown or runs out. The money would be distributed to counties to ensure food assistance continues when federal sources are unavailable. The state would calculate the weekly amount based on previous federal allocations and may need to use budget reserves if the general fund is insufficient. Additionally, the bill requires the Commissioner of Children, Youth, and Families to submit a detailed report to legislative committees within 90 days of any funding distribution.
