Minnesota HF5133 establishes a contingency appropriation for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in case of federal funding lapses.

Minnesota HF5133 amends state statutes to create a contingency appropriation for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Up to $20,000,000 per week for up to six weeks can be appropriated from the state general fund to the commissioner of children, youth, and families. This allocation is intended for distribution to SNAP recipients if there is a federal government shutdown or lapse in federal SNAP appropriations, and if the federal SNAP contingency reserve fund is insufficient.
