SNAP BACK Act of 2025

This bill requires the USDA to reimburse states for costs they incurred while operating the SNAP program during a federal funding gap, provided states followed federal rules. It directly affects state agencies administering SNAP, ensuring they aren't financially burdened when Congress fails to pass annual funding. The key provision mandates reimbursement for all eligible costs during the lapse, covering the period when SNAP benefits would otherwise have stopped. It does not change SNAP eligibility, benefit levels, or program rules - it only addresses financial responsibility during funding interruptions.
