Referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
Introduced November 3, 2025 by Jeff Merkley · Last progress 4 months ago
Expresses the Senate’s view that the executive branch has the legal authority and available contingency funds to provide Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and urges the administration to immediately fund SNAP in November 2025. The resolution recalls recent appropriations to a SNAP contingency fund, notes USDA funding authorities and past use of those authorities, and highlights concerns about child hunger and the large number of people served by SNAP in 2024.
This is a nonbinding “sense of the Senate” statement: it does not change law or appropriate money but urges the administration to use existing authority and funds to ensure SNAP benefits continue without interruption in November 2025.
