This resolution expresses the Senate’s view that the Department of Agriculture should use existing contingency funds and its authority to transfer funds among nutrition programs to pay for SNAP benefits in November 2025. It states that the department has the funds and legal authority to do so, and that it is legally required to fund SNAP.
If you receive SNAP benefits, the resolution urges the department to use available funds to finance the program in November 2025. The resolution does not itself provide benefits or change who qualifies for SNAP.
The resolution calls for using existing SNAP contingency funds and fund-transfer authority. It does not specify how much should be used for November benefits.
The resolution says using these funds is important for the health and well-being of families facing hunger, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans.
