H.R. 1 didn’t directly rewrite child nutrition programs — but its deep SNAP cuts will shape who can access school meals, CACFP, Summer EBT, and WIC.

This shutdown showed how essential SNAP is for the 42 million people who rely on it to put food on the table. People cannot go without benefits, and states cannot carry the weight of higher costs and administrative burdens. frac.org/news/shutdow...

The Trump administration has both the power and the authority to ensure that SNAP benefits continue uninterrupted but has chosen not to act. In doing so, it is holding hungry Americans hostage as political chess pieces. bit.ly/47BkcQx

FRAC is outraged. The DOJ filed an appeal seeking to overturn not only today’s ruling, but prior court orders from Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 requiring funding of SNAP benefits. This action is abhorrent and unconscionable. Read our statement: frac.org/news/adminis...

The Trump administration’s announcement that it will comply with the Court’s order and begin using contingency funds to partially pay November SNAP benefits as the government shutdown continues is an important step, but comes many days late and billions of dollars short.

USDA can act today to make sure millions of families receive their SNAP benefits on time. Delaying action means children, parents, veterans, people with disabilities, and older adults go without food. There is no reason for families to wait.

We are standing with advocates across the country to say that hunger is a policy choice.
USDA has the authority to sustain SNAP, just as it has in past shutdowns.

Historically, both Republican and Democratic administrations found ways to sustain SNAP during crises.
The Trump administration must do the same — and stop choosing hunger over help.

FRAC is deeply disappointed that the USDA quietly released an alarming memo late last week announcing that states have until November 1 to implement some of the most harmful cuts to the SNAP in decades.

Ask your Representative: 'What would your mother say if you cut WIC?'
The House must fully fund WIC—$8.2 billion in the FY2026 budget—so moms and young children can get the nutrition they need to thrive.
