Reimburse states for SNAP during lapses

If enacted, this bill would direct the Agriculture Secretary to reimburse States for costs of running SNAP during a lapse in federal funding. Payments would go to State SNAP agencies, not to households. Reimbursement would only cover costs when the State ran SNAP in line with federal law and regulations. If passed, this could lower the chance that SNAP benefits stop during funding gaps.
