Keeping Families Fed Act of 2023

To amend section 2202 of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act to extend for 1 year the availability of certain flexible benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP). 1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Keeping Families Fed Act of 2023 2. Findings The Congress finds the following: (1) After February 2023 the emergency nutrition assistance benefits provided under the supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) authorized by the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 ended, resulting in a benefit cut for every SNAP recipient household in the 32 States then providing the emergency benefits. (2) According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, every recipient household in those States now receives at least $95 reduction in SNAP benefits a month, and some households see reductions of $250 a month or more. The average household receives $90 a month less in emergency SNAP benefits. (3) The ending of emergency allotments after February 2023 was required by an Act enacted in December 2022 that provided only 2 months for State agencies that administer SNAP and for SNAP recipients to prepare for a stark reduction in benefits. More resources and guidance for the end of the emergency SNAP benefits would have allowed the State agencies and SNAP recipients to better prepare for a benefit reduction and better prevent the hunger cliff caused by benefit reductions. 3. Amendment Section 2302(d) of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act ( 7 U.S.C. 2011 Public Law 116–127 , but such authority shall be in effect during the 1-year period that begins on the date of the enactment of the Keeping Families Fed Act of 2023 . 4.

Summary: Keeping Families Fed Act of 2023 This bill extends for one year the availability of certain increased Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Congress authorized temporary increases to SNAP benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic, which are known as emergency allotments. These benefits ended nationwide after the February 2023 issuance. This bill continues that program for one year. Further, the Department of Agriculture must submit to Congress a strategy plan for state agencies to (1) provide resources and guidance for public awareness of the extension of the emergency allotments, and (2) prepare for the end of this program.
