Feed Our Families Act of 2024
This bill ensures SNAP benefits continue for 90 days during the first funding gap in any fiscal year starting after September 30, 2024. It directs the Treasury to automatically allocate unspent funds to cover SNAP operations during that initial 90-day period, preventing immediate benefit cuts. The reserved funds would remain available until fully used, providing temporary stability for recipients during budget negotiations. This directly affects SNAP participants by maintaining access to food assistance during federal funding lapses.
