Introduced on May 6, 2025 by Mike Levin
This bill expands summer grocery benefits for kids to also cover times when schools are closed for several days in a row. Families would get money on an EBT card during summer months and during “school closure periods” (when a school is closed, remote, or hybrid for 5 or more weekdays) so children can still eat at home .
Starting in 2025, the benefit must be at least the value of a free school breakfast, lunch, and snack for each day school is out in summer or during a closure period. The bill also helps states and Tribal organizations run the program by covering all of their administrative costs in 2026, then stepping down each year until the federal share reaches 50% in 2031 and beyond. It provides $50 million on October 1, 2025, to help states build or upgrade data systems, with funds available until used .
