Emergency Relief for Hungry Families Act of 2025 exempts food discounts from equal treatment requirement during government shutdowns.
The Emergency Relief for Hungry Families Act of 2025 amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to provide an exemption from the equal treatment requirement for food discounts during government shutdowns. Specifically, authorized retail food stores can offer incentives without seeking a waiver if appropriations for the Department of Agriculture have lapsed and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participants are not receiving benefits. These incentives will not be considered a violation of the equal treatment requirement during such periods.
