2025年10月的联邦停业威胁到妇联对数百万人的利益,在没有立即供资的情况下危及健康和发展。 A federal shutdown in October 2025 threatens WIC benefits for millions, risking health and development without immediate funding.

2025年10月开始的联邦停业威胁到妇联对数百万孕妇、新父母和幼儿的营养援助,因为国会没有通过新预算。 A federal shutdown beginning in October 2025 threatens WIC nutrition assistance for millions of pregnant women, new parents, and young children, as Congress has not passed a new budget. 虽然预计10月的福利金由于预先加载的卡片而将继续提供,但使用剩余资金、回扣和国家捐款,供资可能只持续两周。 While October benefits are expected to remain available due to pre-loaded cards, funding may last only two weeks using leftover funds, rebates, and state contributions. 如果没有持续的支持,国家可能会将孕妇和哺乳期妇女置于比年长儿童优先的地位,从而有长期健康和发育损害的风险。 Without continued support, states may prioritize pregnant and breastfeeding women over older children, risking long-term health and developmental harm. 有些州,如科罗拉多州,已经分配了紧急资金。 Some states, like Colorado, have already allocated emergency funds. 食品银行正在准备应对被解聘的联邦工人增加的需求,鼓吹者警告中断会破坏公共卫生收益,并增加今后的保健费用。 Food banks are preparing for increased demand from furloughed federal workers, and advocates warn disruptions could undermine public health gains and raise future healthcare costs.
