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.
