Feeding Families Not Fear Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Brown, Shontel M. [D-OH-11]

Introduced

Summary

Restoring SNAP benefits is the bill's primary aim. It would undo recent cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and return SNAP rules to how they worked before Public Law 119-21 was changed. It would also repeal the specific sections that raised funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and rescind the unobligated balances tied to those increases.

Show full summary
  • Families and low-income households: Would see SNAP benefit levels and eligibility rules restored to their prior form, reversing the reductions made by Subtitle A of Title I of Public Law 119-21.
  • Immigration enforcement agencies: Would lose the additional appropriations created by Sections 90003 and 100052 of Public Law 119-21 and have the unobligated balances of those amounts rescinded.

Cuts to immigration enforcement funding

If enacted, the bill would repeal two sections of Public Law 119-21 that provided funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
