Iowa HF2421 requires the Department of Health and Human Services to reallocate state funds to cover SNAP benefits if federal funding is interrupted.
Iowa HF2421 addresses funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. If the United States Department of Agriculture fails to transfer funds for SNAP due to a lapse in federal appropriations, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must reallocate unexpended or unencumbered state funds to cover the benefits. HHS will distribute these funds to eligible households until federal funding is restored. The bill mandates HHS to create rules to administer this reallocation process.
