Grocery, Farm, and Food Worker Stabilization Grant Program Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill creates a new program to give emergency money to people who work on farms, in meat plants, or at grocery stores. The money would help these workers stay on their feet if a natural disaster or other major emergency happens.
• The Department of Agriculture would give grants to labor unions and other groups that represent these workers. Those groups would then use the money to provide payments directly to the workers to help stabilize their finances.
• The program would have a total budget of $50 million. This money would stay available until it is all used up, making sure it is ready whenever the next disaster strikes.
• Four years after the law starts, the government must check on the program. They will write a report for Congress to show how the money was spent and if it really helped the people it was supposed to protect.
