$107,481,218,000 for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
What the document says“For necessary expenses to carry out the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), $107,481,218,000, of which $3,000,000,000, to remain available through September 30, 2027, and $3,000,000,000, to remain available through September 30, 2028, shall be placed in reserve for use only in such amounts and at such times as may become necessary to carry out program operations”
This is the largest single appropriation in the Act. It funds the program commonly called SNAP for fiscal year 2026 and holds $6,000,000,000 of it in reserve across two later years. The heading also states that the appropriation is subject to any work registration or workfare requirements as may be required by law.
What the document actually says“For necessary expenses to carry out the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), $107,481,218,000, of which $3,000,000,000, to remain available through September 30, 2027, and $3,000,000,000, to remain available through September 30, 2028, shall be placed in reserve for use only in such amounts and at such times as may become necessary to carry out program operations”
This money runs the food help program. Six billion of it is held back in case more is needed.
SNAP is the program that helps people buy food. This is the biggest sum in the whole law. The held back money is a cushion.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
