The bill is titled "To appropriate funds to ensure uninterrupted benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program and the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children." The text says the bill would provide appropriations "to provide uninterrupted benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program" and notes it was "Introduced in House" and referred to committee.

This official bill text shows a concrete effort to protect SNAP and WIC funding, but it was only introduced and not enacted.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Moulton made a concrete effort to protect food assistance by cosponsoring H.R. 5950, the Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025, and publicly advocating against SNAP funding lapses. However, the evidence shows the bill was introduced and referred to committee, not enacted, so the promised protection was not delivered as an actual policy outcome. Because there was a serious legislative and advocacy effort that failed to achieve enactment, the correct outcome is never with an effort badge.
