Kentucky bills aim to maintain SNAP benefits during federal delays using state reserves, following a 43-day shutdown that affected 600,000 residents.
Kentucky lawmakers have introduced SB 135 and HB 522 to protect SNAP benefits during federal funding delays, allowing the governor to draw from the state’s reserve fund to maintain payments, with repayment required within 90 days once federal funding resumes.
The bills follow a 43-day shutdown that delayed benefits for nearly 600,000 Kentuckians.
Led by Sen. Cassie Chambers Armstrong and Rep. Anne Gay Donworth, the measures aim to prevent food insecurity among low-income residents, with Governor Andy Beshear proposing a $50 million state allocation to support food banks amid potential federal cuts affecting 114,000 people.
