SNAP BACK Act.

The SNAP BACK Act ensures uninterrupted food assistance benefits for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) recipients during government funding gaps. It requires the USDA to immediately release all necessary funds for these programs if Congress fails to pass full-year appropriations, prohibiting delays or restrictions on benefit access. The bill mandates that states continue processing applications, disburse benefits within five days of funds being available, and maintain full EBT card functionality without suspensions. States or tribes that temporarily cover costs during funding lapses are reimbursed by the USDA. This directly affects millions of low-income individuals and families relying on these critical nutrition programs.
