Summary of Bill HR 2016
Bill 119 HR 2016, also known as the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, aims to provide funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during the first lapse in appropriations in a fiscal year. This bill ensures that individuals and families who rely on SNAP benefits for food assistance will continue to receive support even if there is a delay in the federal budget approval process.
The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 is a crucial piece of legislation that helps low-income individuals and families access nutritious food through the SNAP program. By providing appropriations for this program during the initial period of a fiscal year without a budget in place, Bill 119 HR 2016 helps to prevent disruptions in food assistance for those in need.
This bill is important for ensuring the stability and continuity of SNAP benefits, which play a vital role in addressing food insecurity and hunger in the United States. By guaranteeing funding for the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 during the first lapse in appropriations, Bill 119 HR 2016 helps to protect vulnerable populations and ensure that they have access to the food they need to thrive.
