## 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. - 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created by Sections 90003 and 100052 of Public Law 119-21 and have the unobligated balances of those amounts rescinded.
